Chair (The)
Back once more at the festival where it all began in 2004, The Chair have gone from strength to strength in the past six years, consolidating their position as the Scots Trad Music Awards Folk Band of the Year 2008.
Danny Kyle Award winners in 2007, the Lazy Boys' debut CD Huinka was released later the same year to rave reviews up and down the country, increasing their profile on the festival circuit. Playing high profile support slots, through to their own headline gigs, they have set the floor alight with their unique brand of 'stomp' music wherever they have appeared. Prestigious festival experiences in the past couple of years include Cambridge Folk Festival, Celtic Connections, Hebridean Celtic Festival, the City of London Festival, Shrewsbury, Towersey, Shetland Folk Festival and, of course, Orkney Folk Festival.
As well as their Orkney Folk Festival gig, 2010 promises to be a big year for The Chair, kicking off with a headlining gig at Celtic Connections in January, in Glasgow's 02 ABC.
No dancefloor is safe!
