Connect Music Festival
Place: Inveraray Castle, Loch Fyne, Argyll, Scotland
Dates: From 08/29/2008 To 08/31/2008
Country: United Kingdom
The sun is starting to break through those
winter clouds and summer is drawing near, which means that you are starting
to think about how you will be spending those lovely long summer nights.
Part of Scotland's celebrations, Connect will be set in the fairy-tale
grounds of Inveraray Castle, situated on the banks of Loch Fyne, Inveraray
in Argyll. It will not only feature an eclectic mix of bands, artists
and DJ's, but also a plethora of alternative entertainment, ranging from
local food and drink offerings in the Circuses and Bread Field that will
seriously tantalise your taste buds, to magical woodland walks, comedians,
old school games mixed with a touch of the Highland Games, visual artists
and installations, and the strange and unusual in performance in The Unknown
Pleasures Tent.
Club Noir will host The Unknown Pleasures tent on Saturday night bringing
their hugely popular burlesque show to Connect, complete with live burlesque
shows, ambient acts that mingle with the crowd all night and the very best
in retro modern sounds. On Sunday Vegas take over the mantle bringing
along Scotland's swinging, award-winning, jet setting club. Expect
moonlight, martinis, roulette, romance, blackjack, showgirls, and swinging
sounds for hipsters.
Continuing to be at the forefront of supporting Scottish unsigned talent,
DF Concerts brings to Connect the Your Sound Bandstand. Following
on from the very successful Your Sound networking event, which is hosted
monthly in King Tuts Wah Wah Hut and gives unsigned bands a great opportunity
to not only showcase their talent, but also to mingle with experts in the
music field, the bandstand will host 20 of the very best unsigned artists
chosen from the term 1 and 2 playlists over 2 days.
So all of this brought together will most certainly create an experience
that will be ingrained in the memories of all those who attend Connect
Music Festival for years to come!
