==Music== Throughout the year there are many small [[fΓ¨is]]ean and music festivals in the local halls and hotels, especially in the Ceilidh Place and the Arch Inn. The Ullapool Guitar Festival takes place in early October each year, attracting performers at several venues over the weekend. The [[Loopallu Festival]], created by the American rock-grass band [[Hayseed Dixie]] and local promoter Robert Hicks in 2005,<ref>{{Cite web |date=31 August 2017 |title=AUK album premiere: Mark Olson "Spokeswoman of the Bright Sun" β Listen |url=http://www.americana-uk.com/auk/index.php?module=contentexpress&file=index&func=display&ceid=15&meid=19}}</ref> was well received and has become a major regional annual event, more than doubling the size of the village during the festival. In 2007 it attracted several bands including [[The Saw Doctors]], [[Dreadzone]] and [[Franz Ferdinand (band)|Franz Ferdinand]] headlining on the second night. There are also fringe events at local bars. [[The Pigeon Detectives]] have played the Village Hall.
