The Slow Sessions began in 2018 and encourage people to play together in a group, experiencing the complete joy of being a part of a bigger sound than we can ever make on our own!
Slow Sessions
Buying a musical instrument can be an expensive gamble, especially if you have never actually played that type of instrument before. The Bank has over one hundred instruments including keyboards, whistles, guitars, fiddles and ukuleles which can be borrowed, free of charge, for three months.

About Us
Playing music together has been part of Orkney’s culture for centuries. Traditional tunes, old favourites and many recent pieces about the people and places of the Islands, are played and enjoyed by Orkney musicians young and old. Music on the Islands is inclusive and Orkney Music & Culture exists to give everyone a chance, and the confidence, to make music.
Contact
Feel free to contact us using this form. We are keen to get ideas for new activities to further the development of music and culture on Orkney. Also, if you are a music teacher and wish to be added to our register of teachers on Orkney please get in touch. This will be useful for those borrowing instruments and who are looking for some tuition during the loan period.
