Further details meanwhile have been released about a special concert due to be held at Mareel in Lerwick on Thursday 27 April.
Irish singer Michelle Burke and her band will host a show called Step Into My Parlour, a night of “songs, yarns and sherry” inspired by her great grandmother’s scrapbook.
A number of guests, including Kris Drever, Kevin Henderson and Chris Stout, will feature.
It has also been confirmed that visiting acts Veronica and the Red Wine Serenaders, The Chair and New Road, as well as local groups Tyunes, Hjaltibonhoga, and Rack ‘n’ Ruin, will perform on the Norwegian sailing vessel Statsraad Lehmkuhl on the Saturday.
