Goodbye Scotland Part 1: Knockengorroch

So there I was at Knockengorroch World Ceildh, with nearly all my best pals that I've met since the 10 months I've been in this suprising country. Can't praise it highly enough, amazing music, and vibes unique to any festival.

The highlights -

Vieux Fraka Toure - billed as the hendrix of africa. incredible guitar. Mind blown.

Dub Pistols - Wooft

Sam Lee Band - as heard from my stewarding post side of stage. Old skool folk tunes with a contemporary sound.

Alejandro & the Magic Tombelinos - mental fusion, with a brazilliant shirtless sax player.  

Tantz - the balkanarama band. These guys from Leeds kick the proverbial off it. Also I made a lovely pal in the band who kept calling me Susan.

Sketch - another epic sound. Angus the pipe player gave me a huge main stage shout out, as I had done a great job chatting him up and drawing his portrait for him from side of stage.

Mungo's Hi Fi - Reggae sound system from Scotland. Can't beat it for the Sunday night, bass to rearrange your organs.

Skyjahman - SP?? A friend of a friends band, stonking reggae from some Scottish lads.

I never made it to the Sauna which is legendary, and there's a host of other amayzeballs things to do. I stopped in at the Longhouse and Weirdigans, both incredible experiences.

Please make special note of the photo in the album where I have zipped one jacket to the other aka "I've two faced me jeecket!" and special thanks to Nick who I think took the photo at the pinaccle of my amusement.
