Hebridean Celtic Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hebridean Celtic Festival (Scottish Gaelic: Fèis Cheilteach Innse Gall) is an international Celtic music festival, which takes place annually in Stornoway on Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The biggest headliners to date have been Runrig, The Waterboys, Proclaimers and Van Morrison. Many other acts take part in the event, including local bands, solo artists and visiting international artists.

Organised largely by a dedicated volunteer force, the event established in 1996 has seen growth over the intervening years. Over and above the music, the Fesitval also offers arts, drama, Gaelic storytelling and a shinty match called the Hebcelt Trophy,[1] played for the first time in 2007
