Orkney Anniversary Special: The Chair 20th with FARA 10th

Formidable Orcadian eight-piece The Chair celebrate their 20th anniversary with a turbocharged mash-up of folk, blues, rock, dub, klezmer and more. Since first forming in 2004 for the Orkney Folk Festival, the group has gone from strength to strength, spreading its unique “stomp” to festival tents and concert halls across the UK and Europe.

Collectively, The Chair’s sound bursts with the energy of a heavy rock gig - a rampant ruckus of fiddles, banjos, accordions and drums - yet remains acoustic at heart.

The band’s island compatriots, the fabulous fiddle-led FARA, join them on stage as riotous reinforcements. Expect an evening of fast, fun, and frenzied folk-rock as The Chair toast two decades together.
