Bio

The Big Orkney Song Project is a two year project set up to collect, catalogue and record Orkney songs and run by Orkney Singers. We will be creating the Big Orkney Song Collection, which everyone can have free access to through the Orkney Library and Archive. Our hope is to reinvigorate a song tradition in Orkney and preserve our rich and diverse song heritage.
