WHEN WE SAID OUR OBJECTIVE WAS Known for its taste in music, this years 10th Anniversary Glenelg Music Festival continues its discerning ear. For more info and links for past and present tunesters check out www.myspace.com/dramsinthefield
FRIDAY 25th SEPTEMBER: DOORS 7pm, TUNES FROM 7.30pm The Vatersay Boys Wild and wonderful we’re sure we need say no more, judging by the emails asking for tickets folk already know what they are in for. They’ll make you sweat, sweet! Sandra MacBeth & Band With her self-published first album out this year, local girl Sandra will be playing her own brand of ‘dirty pop’ with the full band to her hometown crowd, phew! Oh so carbon neutral too, Tune Miles Zero. Niteworks 2009 BBC Rapal New Song Competition winners wrap brilliant Gaelic song writing in electro fusion to fantastic effect. Horizon Fresh talent formed 12 months ago, with original songs influenced by folk like biffy clyro, kooks & the kinks, and excellent renditions of some classic covers just to get everyone in the mood.
We’re working with Skye based youth music development social enterprise ItsOn to showcase local talent, they have sorted us out with our two opening acts for Friday night and some of our stewards to keep us safe over the weekend. We think what they are doing is a great idea. http://www.its-on.org SATURDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER: DOORS 6PM, TUNES FROM 6PM Bodega Award winners, with their startlingly talented line up, launched their second album last year, are still defying definition and will no doubt woo us with inspirational tunes to wrap the festival up in incredible style. Linda McRae Too good to be true a Glenelg descendent from Canada emails us asking to play and it’s the year of homecoming scotland: never mind she’s an award winning multi-instrumentalist country/roots singer songwriter with platinum cd’s to her name and currently based in Nashville. Wonder can we find her any living relatives? Zoey Van Goey Indy/folk three-piece multi instrumentalists who released their self published first album this year to consistent four star reviews. Hey the bar man at Uisge Beatha said he saw them at T in the Park and they rocked, we confirmed it later that day seeing them for ourselves in Glasgow. Booked. The John Langan Band Gipsy/Folk/rock stomper who won the Danny Kyle Open Stage 2008, tore down Knockengorroch this year, and just when we were thinking he’d be a good addition to the line up, well along the street he did appear. Also with a self published CD out this year.
