Ullapool Guitar Festival

A community festival run by volunteers, Ullapool Guitar Festival sees visitors and musicians return year after year for three days dedicated to guitar music of all decades, countries and genres. World-class musicians rub shoulders with bright new talents and guitar music fans over an informal and fun long weekend. There are workshops from tutors including Hugh Burns, Will McNicol, Clive Carroll, Tristan Seume and John Goldie. Afternoon and evening concerts are followed by the lively Festival Club hosted by Adam Bulley, Chas Mackenzie and friends. Among the performers this year are Belgian classical guitarist Emma Wills, and acclaimed jazz and blues guitarist Remi Harris playing with virtuoso double bassist Tom Moore. Allan Neave, Professor of Guitar at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, will also introduce the talents of three of his most promising students.
