Scotland has become a kind of Mecca for music festivals and outdoor concerts over the last few years, with T In The Park, Rock Ness and The Isle Of Skye festivals all being hyped up and getting great bands performing.

Amy Winehouse continues her fight to keep the tabloid newspaper and music magazine journalists (as well as simple bloggers such as me) in gainful employment.
Today, we have two pieces of gossip about her which are doing the rounds. While I can’t state categorically that either are true, I feel it is at least my duty […]

Wow, what a trio of headliners that is! And that’s not all those punters lucky enough to already get tickets are going to be in for, as the full line-up of acts playing over the three days of the festival has been announced, and it’s a doozy.
