The festival, whose audience thrive on it’s theme that have reached from land girls to cowboys and westerns, have chosen wildlife for it’s theming. “So” announced the festival “come all you Eagles and Elephants, Gorilla’s and Geese, Swallow’s and Swift’s, Frogs and Fungi, Wildebeest, Wallaby’s, Water Lily’s and Weeds and join in the end of summer migration to the Black Isles very own oasis of biodiversity.”
The Friday night will kick off with a Jungle Ceilidh featuring emerging Scottish talent, Soul and DJ. Saturday promises to be a a cornucopia of Rock, Trad, Folk, and Funk over the Dutch Barn and Hayloft Stages.
David Gladwin from Black Isle Brewery said; “ As Scotland’s only organic brewery it is appropriate that we support and highlight Wildlife and the Environment. We are not saying that the sky is falling in, or we are all going to die, but we do want everyone to be more aware of environmental issues, and that each of us even in a small way can make a difference. Come and party and have fun; drink delicious organic beer, eat good food, listen to great music, and respect the beautiful and diverse natural world we live in. And remember – keep off the weeds!”
