Hmmmmm...
Reading through this thread, it seems people are missing some fundamental points.
Obviously, while the Big Gig is IN Caithness it isn't regarded by the populace as serving the needs of the county ie being a "Caithness" festival - that's why this thread started!
Loopallu, Wizard, Homegame and Wickerman are all held in rural areas with small populations - no one has yet to contradict that. So why is Caithness inherently different to these areas??
Also on the subject of the Caithness folk fest... I believe there was one in Wick at the same time period organised by noted poet, historian and nice bloke David Morrison.
With regards to having it in a hall... assembly rooms? Or are they still in a state of disrepair?
Plus Supergrass are a great band, eh Chobbers?
Think some people, not naming names, need to take a chill pill. Just because a previous, hard rockin' guitar pickin' venture failed doesn't mean a poppier (cos thats what the 'grass are innit? popular?) will also go tits up.
And finally... Pepsi doubts if anyone in the county has the contacts to pull it off.. who says you have to live in Caithness to put this on??
Week will inherit the earth.....
Rob,
I don't think that The Big Mac is saying that any of your posts re: this Caithness Festival are a dig at the Big Gig.
I think that the point he is trying to make is that at the start of this post, Cesare suggested starting a summer festival...
...which is a project that is already being undertaken in its entirety in the shape of the Big Gig.
Won't be able to attend the Big Gig this year due to an alternative appointment with the beer tent at the Orkney Show but should this new festival get the go-ahead give me a shout and I'll come along for sure - especially if Supergrass are playing
"you know and i know that we talk in circles most times"
Way off topic but Supergrass are lethal live! Seen them at the Foo Fighters gig at Wembley and they sure know how to get a crowd going.
Supergrass are an awesome band, they have produced great music since day one.
Moncur you are a lucky so and so for seeing them live
all i have to say is blah people takes my idea and twists it
hence why nothin good really comes out of wick
congrats job well done
blah wick is what it is and it will never change
Plus ca Change...plus cest a meme chose..........Name that tune!
