The Chair
The Chair on-stage is an experience that will have even the most reserved audience beating a path to the dance floor. Melodies from the band’s native Orkney are mashed up with blues, dub and klezmer in an 8-piece riot of fiddles, banjos, accordions and drums. Collectively, the sound approaches the energy levels of a rock gig, yet remains acoustic at heart. The Chair, a must-see festival band, were voted Band of the Year at the 2008 MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people or changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.The Chair have been a regular listen-to band since I came across them on a trip to the Orkneys in 2012. A recommendation of the hotelier acquaintance of theirs I was staying with in a hotel in East Kirkwall. Great stuff. Tally ho! ;-)

This is where The Chair should be this weekend. Happily, Cambridge has put together a virtual programme of events including a wee bit of the Chair, possibly showcasing some new material from our forthcoming new album. We're on at 1930 on Friday night, virtually supporting Seasick Steve! Anybody for some hot spicy cider? Yum.With less than 24 hours until the Cambridge Folk Festival at Home gets underway, there are a few last odds and ends you'll be needing...
You'll find the weekend's running order on the link below, including what times artist videos go live here on Facebook and when you should toggle the wireless over to BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio Cambridgeshire and Cambridge 105 Radio to hear more music from them.

Missing the chance to flip through a programme, wear a wristband all weekend or take home a souvenir poster? We've got you covered with the Print at Home Festival Kit. You'll be able to print your own programme, posters, wristbands and more. Sad to say, the AAA pass only gets you into your own house.
