Ballads of the Book - Pictures














What a fantastic day this was! Pity on those who didn't make it into a sell out gig. It really was a feast for all the senses. Great Accoustic, Electric, Readings, DJ's, atmosphere and art?!
Highlights?
Aidan Moffat's poetry and onstage performance is always provocative, darkly humerous and brilliant. He's also a great musician and DJ. And he did the design work for the Ballads album. Is there no end to this man's talent? Think I'll write to him and tell him he's not allowed any more.
Burnt Island, Karine Polwart and Alasdair Roberts performed some stunning music/songs. Foxface were even better than the last time I saw them - D.John is also another man with too much talent. James Yorkston was great with his fellow musicians on stage. I like his gigs but he's a difficult personality to get to know. Emma Pollock was great. Norman Blake sucked - only 2 songs! Didn't give me any time to get right in to what his music is/was - still none the wiser. Missed Sons and Daughters, and King Creosote, but I'm saving up to manufacture another me, so that next time I can indeed be in two places at once!
If anyone wants a visual souvenir/print from £18, mail me at info@jennysoep.com and grab a bargain while I'm cheap enough! Some Originals still left for sale as well if you're lucky enough to get them before they're sold out!

12th August 2006 - Throwback - Uncle John and Whitelock




One of, if not THE gig of the year - a full day skate event to raise money for Oban's skatepark was ended magnificently by that voodoo rock belter of a band, Uncle John and Whitelock, supported by the otherworldly tenderness of Foxface and raw madness of The Wallopers. An amazing time had by all in a tardis like village hall in FURTHER than the back of beyond, Easdale island, complete with blazing moonlit night and meteor showers on a slate beach - home of the World Stone Skimming championships no less! Beat THAT with a blade and smoke it.
