AFTER four wild and thoroughly enjoyable days, Shetland Folk Festival is over once more and the wait for the 43rd festival – in spring next year – has begun.

Here is another selection of photos of the many outstanding musicians who have graced stages across Shetland over the last few days.

Thanks to photographers Dave Donaldson and Marvin Smith, and our reviewers Davie Gardner, Neil Riddell and Carol Jamieson.
