At The Ferry we are enthusiastic supporters of live music and through the winter season offer the bar as a venue for musicians to showcase their skills and for folk to come together to enjoy informal sessions. As we move towards the main season our final Folk and Americana session is lined up for 20 April, while our Trad session will move along the street to The Royal every other Saturday night. Of course we are looking forward to the Blues festival at the end of April, the Folk Festival at the end of May, Shopping Week, the shows and Orktoberfest...... plenty to look forward to.

The Orkney Folk Festival at the end of May, Stromness Shopping Week in July, and Orktoberfest are highlights but this year we have a fortnightly trad session hosted by Jenny Wrigley and Laurence Wilson. All welcome whether to join in or just to relax with a glass..

Visiting players will be welcomed and there will always be a guitar, fiddle or mandolin for those away from home but prepared to pick up an instrument and join in – or start off – a session.
