While we wait for the last bugs in the ticketing system to be hunted down, here’s another great piece of news.

The Festival will be showing The Groove is NOT Trivial – a documentary that follows well-known Scottish fiddler, Alasdair Fraser, in his personal journey in search of self expression, digging deep into his Scottish musical roots. Produced and directed by Tommie Dell Smith, and premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, we have the opportunity to share this great documentary with the Wellyfest audience as the New Zealand debut.

Screening in the Maire Hall on Friday evening.  Find more information on the film here.
