    A company called Chef 2 U is doing the catering and there should be a range of food to suit all needs

    Of course there will also be alcohol on sale at the event

    One change from last year is that the alcohol has to be better controlled so no carry outs are allowed in.

    Only drink bought within the event can be consumed. Unfortunately its a licensing issue that cant be got round and will be enforced.

    Also the oranisers have to ensure only 18 years and over are drinking alcohol - there were quite a few under age drinking last year that was noted by the local authorities and highlighted.

    Hopefully sunny weather has been booked for the two days!!

    The only reason people took carry-outs in last year was because of the extortionate prices charged by the on-site outlet.

    Who's running the beer tent this year, because if it's the same shower (with the same pricing policy) as last year the gig will be practically empty.

    Additionally - -

    Just to clarify that despite the inference in the Caithness Courier on Wednesday the Big Gig Music event is absolutely in no way connected to any film festivals bearing the same name - -readers of past threads will remember the reasons why this is being clarified.

    Thurso Town Improvements and The Big Gig (Music festival) have no involvement with this or the person organising it

    Clear as mud now eh!!

    Is it true that in the paper yesterday the advert for The Big Gig 2 stated that alcohol will be prohibited completely?

    If that's the case, this gig is going to be a washout. Even if it doesn't rain incessantly.

    And on that note, are there any provisions in place for inclement weather?

    I'm pretty sure that's not true... I believe it's a case of no alcohol to be brought into the gig. However if it is ture... it's gonna be a pretty gash turn out

    Nah, it's not true. I just checked today's Groat and it says that no carry-outs will be allowed into the venue, but alcohol will be available on site.

    Seems I was misinformed.
