Connect Music Festival

CONNECT FESTIVAL IS TAKING A BREAK IN 2009 WE WILL UPDATE THIS PAGE A.S.A.P.


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!
