nice try. i like the IDEA. which is all it is. fair play for wanting to do something for music, not enough wanting to do so, but if respected musicians are going to react like the way the have on this thread then why bother?
the older musicians on the scene should be trying harder to encourage such ideas rather than ridicule them on first view.
you dont look at the mantle when ur pokin the fire
Loopallu, Loopallu Loopallu Loopallu, Wizzard, Wizzard Wizzard, Northern Lights Northern Lights...........................what bits about these small community festivals do you not understand.....finance / logistics / bill.........................bozos !!!!
[quote=Chobbersjnr;410839]you need to get out more & supergrass. You really are a funny guy........
Me go out more lol lol lol lol.........well Isacc, thats the pot calling the kettle black, stick to insulting neeps please !
Tents cost money but so does a council let, and we are talking about a lot of money. If you are thinking about a free fixed venue you'll need to look at something like a village hall, I suppose. Hard to find one of those with decent acoustics for an event like this, although the Durness one is decent.
Mmmm (to bite or not to bite??) - actually I do have a VERY good clue as I ran Edge of the World Music Festival for seven years running and am fully aware just how much tent hire is. I see humour is not lost on you - good luck with your own ventures (you'll need it!!)
All the world's a stage and we are merely players . . . . .

let's all just grab an acoustic and chip in a fiver for beer and shelter...
"you know and i know that we talk in circles most times"
fixed venues with toilets?
Maybe you can get Mackay's hotel for free instead then?
Talk's cheap, don't cost a thing. Untill I see the "Rob Murray Fest" in neon lights from every significant landmark in the world it's all talk, talk, talk & no walk.
Let's see your walk & prove you're not the only neep that's worth an insult & if you really must use my name rather than my username it's Isaac not Isacc.
Man I felt like Jeid for a minute there.
How is Jeid anyway??
aye Rob you've always talked & talked & talked & had the summer hit of the year for as long as I've been able to comprehend the english language & nothing seems to change. I'm all for a Caithness music festival but the likelyhood of it actually happening is slim IMHO unless of course the font of ALL knowledge steps up & organises the mother of all festivals.
Talk..talk talk...what exactly are you accusing me of, ie all talk and no delivery....in what context ? What summer hit are you on about ( cant remember me ever refering to anything like it on this platform ) and whats this to do with the relevance to the thread ? Speak to Jeid yerself you know where he works.
Oh by the way money where my mouth is...well well well eh ! If I were you Id back off.
Well John, Yes, I totally agree, I still am "childish" and proud off it. You see Billy Childish ( google the name....he's recorded 100 plus albums ) recently wrote a book highlighting how up to the age of 13 people see music as it is, ie innocently and wholly to be enjoyed...after 13 this basic premise is distorted by the media and know alls who influence opinions, hence as we get older we basically lose touch with the innocence attributed to the perception we held as 13 year olds. In other words negative cyncism creeps in.. ie dont like this music because they look like this...dont like this music because they cant play / too old / to soft etc etc etc. I replied to this thread because I connected with the innocence..lets have a festival...and why not..or as Salvidor Dali once put it ( and paraphrased by Pete Wylie : Story of the Blues ) " The city intellectuals of this world are divorced from the realities of the full bloodied body of the soil and as such are rootless fools"....ponder this for a moment eh and remember the days of innocence, I have, a long long time ago !
