Hi all,
Just a quick post to let you know about the Music Festival in Wick this weekend.
When: Saturday 5th August
Where: Wick Riverside (to the right of safeway on the field where the side shows are)
What: Music Festival! 15 bands playing from 2pm until 1am playing lots of different kinds of music from Rock to Pop, Country to Folk
Price: £5 adults £3 kids - all day ticket, and still cheaper than most nightclubs!
As well as the bands there will be lots to eat and drink - the usual, burgers, hotdogs & soup kind of fayre, and for drinks we have beers, wines & spirits, not forgetting soft drinks of course. We're trying to make money for charity but the drinks will be priced as cheap as we can get away with so that we can all have a good day!
For the kids, we have an assortment of fair ground rides, bouncy castle and candy floss. For the adults, we have beer, and lots of it!
The bands playing are:
After Hours
All Stitched up
Astronot
Clapshot
Estrella
High Voltage
Outlanders
Plastic Food
Redic
Road to Nowhere
Stevie Taylor Band
Under Age
White Noize
I've left out the two unconfirmed bands. Doing this from memory so please forgive any mistakes, and I'll double check and edit later. I'll also post again with all the times, so that you don't miss your favourite band.
We've also got backing tracks lined up for a couple of solo singers mid-evening, and if we under-run, there will be time for some outdoor, legless style karaoke... just to break the ice, so cross your fingers, and for the sake of your ears hope that we don't under-run!
Whether you're in Thurso at the gala (http://www.thurso.org), Mey at the games (http://www.visitscotland.com/sitewide/hg_highlands_2006), or Wick at the festival (http://caithness.org/wickmusicfest1.jpg) here's hoping the weather holds up and everyone has a great day. Don't forget that we're on from 2pm until 1am, so if you are doing something else during the day, pop along to see us at night or vice-verca!
Every single penny is going to help build a Memorial Garden at Bank Row, Wick, so please come and support us and have a great day.. Bring a blanket, grab a spot and make a day of it!
Special thanks to our sponsors, AJG Parcels (http://www.ajgparcels.com) (sponsoring the TV adverts), Homebase (http://www.homebase.co.uk)(sponsoring the refreshments), and MM Miller (http://www.mm-miller.com) (sponsoring the stage design & build).
Thanks very much :cool:
