Nairn Festival 5th- 13th June 2009
Hello. I'm John Fyfe, Chairman of the Festival. Over the last five years the Festival has made Nairn one of the leading centres for literature and the arts in Scotland. Every year we say ‘Bigger and better than ever’, but this year we have even had to add an extra day to accommodate the stellar line-up. We have reached out further to the younger generation, and hundreds of children are involved. We’ve enlisted prestigious national and international writers and lecturers – some with fascinating insights into Scotland’s history and culture – who will join our own local talent. With support from EventScotland, the visual arts events have a truly national dimension, as well as exhibitions, competitions and workshops to interest everyone. The National Theatre of Scotland is bringing Liz Lochhead’s Mary Queen of Scots Got Her Head Chopped Off. The Florians will perform The Beggars’ Opera. Session A9 will keep traditional music fans stomping, and Music Nairn will provide their usual high standard of classical musicians. I defy you not to split your sides laughing at stand-ups Dr Phil Hammond and James Ross.
There’s a lot more besides.
