I've just received the 'Gael Force 2005'(groan!) Summer Music programme from Dumfries and Galloway Council and it's not listed. I did some MC'ing there in 2003 when Julie Felix, North Sea Gas, Anthony John Clarke, Tref & Vicki Williams plus the late Sean Maguire were on the bill and I felt then,the budget had been well and truly rolled out that year - to little avail. In other words, it was poorly attended and must've lost a packet. Last year, things were pared down to a minimum and this year - nothing?
Shame 'cos it's a fabulous location but it must be said the venues are a tad limited. Main stage is the village hall for example and I guess that other towns with more extensive facilities have put their hands up saying "please sir, me sir" and the Council has placed its limited funds elsewhere.
Maybe they're just having a year off in the 'port? It's come and gone before. (thinks, must go back soon anyway - lovely spot)
