Live webcam from Shetland's Viking Up Helly Aa fire festival from 7pm to 9pm tonight. A parade of over 1000 torchlight people through the streets of Lerwick ending with the burning of the Viking longboat.

I've went to a few of them over the years, really awesome to watch and feel the heat. Basically, it's an excuse to drink from 8am today until 8am tomorrow morning. Theres a dozon or so big parties held in local halls where these guys tour them putting on little shows, singing and drinking.

lol Davie. Earlier I watched a guy singing and playing a guitar in a ruined building which was good but it must have been a pre recorded item.
