It was moved as it is the Highlands and Islands year of Culture. Also note how Dundee Council have supplied a staff memeber to look after the Go North event. Aberdeen Council ain't putting money in again. Go Aberdeen Council leading the way in inspiring Cultural activities.

Maybe time for a lobbying body to start prodding them a little. I mean in general and not just in relation to Go Norf, or 'not so far norf'...

The way I hear it, it was always going to be moved to Inverness once it was established.

It did NOTHING for the music scene here anyway...absolutely nothing. Any industry types that I met took nothing seriously, were using it as a bit of a jolly and were all pricks that had no intention of paying any real attention. Good riddance I say.

I don't think there'll be one, seems a bit pointless to do both in Inverness.
