medicinemusic Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Little Feat Open and head up the Belladrum Festival Tartan Heart Fringe 2008 on the last UK date of their "Join The Band World Tour" Many people choose to travel to the Highlands for a summer break hoping to find "world class music, the great out doors, good food and drink, and all in the best possible company" Now I'm pleased to say all that is guaranteed for 12 halcyon days in July and August 2008. I'm keen to let all music Fans know about this musical trail, our Festival and the Little Feats appearance, can you help please? If you can make it yourself there is a Highland welcome waiting for you, let me know. I'm keen to get the word out about The Belladrum Tartan Heart Fringe in particular, which has been organised so there is a choice of gigs every night of the week in one Highland musical hotspot or an other so people can follow a magical musical trail around village halls, folk clubs, Highland hostelries and famed watering holes to Belladrum. .........
