Anyone with any interest in Guitar music or just great music should check out the 12th Ullapool Guitar Festival from 7th – 9th October 2011. As in previous years a large number of world class electric and acoustic guitarists will be performing. In addition to the 5 concerts, workshops and the 3 late night festival clubs, the Festival also hosts a wonderful trade show with trade stands from some of the countries finest luthiers e.g. Fylde, Avalon, Peter Eggle and Taran guitars to name but a few. This is a world class event and is not to be missed.

Those looking for Ullapool accommodation for the Ullapool Guitar Festival have a number of options. The Sheiling B&B and Morefield Hotel have availability for festival weekend, and you can also book into self catering accommodation with The Brochs of Coigach.
