Still in negotiations about the Festival Club but we have a fall back and no matter what happens it will take place.

UPDATE

29th January 2008

I hope you have all recovered from the holidays and new year festivities.

We ran a New Year Ceilidh in the Ullapool Village hall on the 31st and raised quite a bit of money for the Festival!!! It all helps.

A huge thank you to all the helpers, your time and effort was much appreciated.

Anyway this is just to confirm that there will be a Festival in 2008; dates the 10th, 11th and 12th of October.So please put those dates in your diary now!!!

We have a new venue!! all concerts will take place in the very comfortable Macphail centre, there will be a bar and it has a very efficient air extractor system so we don't overheat!!!!

I am still examining the options for the venue for the late night festival club but I will confirm that later.

So far I have Stefan Grossman,Don Ross and Andy McKee (stick their names into google and have a look at some of the video clips they have on the internet, you won't be disappointed) Clive Carroll, Gareth Pearson,Johnny Dickinson and John Goldie are also confirmed along with the welcome return of Hugh Burns.

I'm still working on my wish list and will confirm names as and when I get artists booked.

Best regards

We are most grateful to Marcus Fox of Fox Design and Paul Parker of eg Studios in Leeds for this much improved web site.

Well that's it over for another year!!!

I hope those who attended had a great time!!! apart from a couple of members of the public who took a little bit of the shine off the event for me, I had a great time and fealt that musically this one was probably one of the best Festivals so far. Many many thanks to all the volunteers who assisted throughout the Festival. Also a big thanks to Limelight for wonderful sound and vision.

I'm also pleased to report that Rebecca Fjelle has offered to assist us in finding a sponsor for the Festival, she has just launched a new company doing this kind of work and she has some rather tasty photos taken during the festival on her own web site www.arterial-media.co.uk which is well worth checking out.

I'm also pleased to tell you that a Mr Antony Bowring has gifted £500 towards the cost of next years festival if we manage to raise enough money to put the event on. So many thanks to him for that financial support!!!

So if it all goes to plan the Festival will take place 10th,11th and 12th of October 2008.
