The festival aims to showcase and promote the song writing and musical talent in Kintyre. It also aims to encourage a new generation of local songwriters and musicians, by means of donations to local musical groups/organisations and the presentation of an annual memorial quaiche at Campbeltown Grammar School for original folk song.

Please use this website to find more information about the Kintyre Songwriters Festival. You can also use this website to register to perform at the next event.
