Fancy joining us on-stage? Apply to FRESH to get you and your band a gig at this year’s unsigned stage. There will also be a stage especially for young bands to step into the spotlight.
Over at Head Space, we’ll have Roseanna Cunningham MSP, Gerry Hassan in conversation with Douglas Alexander MP, Andy Wightman, Jonny Baker, Sonya Sharma and others to get you thinking, talking and – who knows? – changing the world?
The Literature stage will come alive to the poetic sounds of Aonghas MacNeacail, Harry Baker and Stewart Henderson. And Soul Space will be just the place for you and your thoughts. We’ll have some meditative spaces, a labyrinth, godly play and some late night reflective sessions for you to enjoy a quiet moment.
As for that quirky, undefinable Solas Festival goodness for all ages, read on…
We are really excited about our new look, which was dreamed up by a young Solas Festival supporter. To read more about how the sun and the flower came to embody our growing event, take a look at the blog.
The theme for Solas Festival 2012 is a phrase adapted from a Bruce Cockburn lyric: Fields in Motion. Irish poet, Padraig O’Tuama, has penned a poem about what that might mean for this year’s festival. You’ll find that in the About us section.
There is still plenty of time to get involved with Solas Festival 2012. Take a look at how you can support by volunteering or by becoming a Solas Saint.
