New Music Festival Launched in Aberdeenshire - FEUGH FEST 2007, 25th August 2007, Banchory, Scotland.

On 25th August 2007 the very first Feugh Fest will be held in Banchory, Aberdeenshire countryside with non-stop entertainment for 10 hours. Band line-up includes: The Shakes, Deviltrain, Aka Ska, easily led, Paddyrasta, 16 again, Big Foot, Le Reno Amps, Dave Acari, Hot Mangu, Captain Face, Balkan Ceilidh and many more.

Feugh Fest Ltd. director Mark Valentine commented ”Feugh Fest 2007 has been born out of a desire to recreate the community spirit similar to that we experienced when attending Glassel Gig. This music festival, again held in Banchory, ran for over 7 years and when it stopped we were really disappointed. It had a great reputation and we decided that it was time to carry on the tradition of holding a music festival here in Banchory. We hope to attract a mixed age audience from across the country to Aberdeenshire. In the same vein as Glassel Gig, we intend to donate a large percentage to local charities”

He added “During the day it will have a real family atmosphere and children will be admitted for free. After the children have left the site at 6pm, the tempo will get cranked up. From then on in it’s adults only!”

In a nutshell Feugh Fest will have something for everyone, for young and old. Kids will be kept entertained with a bouncy castle, face painting and bucking bronco rides. They’ll even have their own bar!

Tickets, which are on sale now, cost £20 and can be purchased via the website www.feughfest.com or by calling the ticket hotline on 01330 822066. There is free admittance for children under 14.
