Face the West

 Face the West


Joining us from the Isle of Lewis, in Scotland’s outer Hebridean islands, are the young, yet well-established, celtic-rock band Face the West. 

Nominees for Live Act of the Year at the 2009 Scots Trad Music Awards, the band have an impressive array of gigging credits to their name - previous appearances have included main stage performances at the Hebridean Celtic Festival in 2009 and Ironworks in Inverness.


We’re delighted to welcome them on their first visit to Orkney, and are sure that their hearty mix of fiddle, accordion, guitar, drums, keys, synths and vocals will be the perfect ingredients for sessions throughout the weekend, as well as Saturday’s Academy Club. With an average age of just 21, we can’t think of anyone more qualified to ensure the party goes with a bang!
