Sessions and Sail Shetland is underway! Our crew is in good spirits having tuned the night way aboard a bumpy Northlink crossing, and they're raring for more!

Clarsachs, fiddles, bouzouki, guitars and accordions have been loaded aboard the @swanlk243 - look out for the crew at various sessions around Shetland this week!

"... its not so much the Horn itself, but the weeks spent in the Southern Ocean to get there that guarantee you’ll get a pasting’", I was once told.

This pic is one I took from the deck of Soren Larsen steering full and by in the Southern Ocean - in a mere force 9 - in 2008.

So happy with this 'Must Listen' review of #TheSpringbankVoyage in Folk London magazine Dec/Jan.

'.. an outstanding album where each track
builds the fascinating cyclical narrative of
a ship and its crew.'
