Registration

Online registration will open 27 April 2024 at 18:00 BST. A link will appear further down this page.

We have to restrict the maximum number of entrants to 350 but we still have space for spectators.

This is simply due to the time taken to let everyone compete, hold the awards ceremony and then ensure people can leave the island during ferry operating hours.

For the full competition rules, categories and entrance fees, please see our About section.

For location, parking and ferry info, please see our Getting Here section.

The Homecoming String Band are an energetic celebration of the huge contribution Scotland has made to American Folk Music. They blend Appalachian and Bluegrass material with Scottish jigs and reels, and a sprinkling of their favourite songs from both the UK and USA folk/roots scene.
