Posted: 01-Jul-2008 15:32 Great Prices and great bill, hope to see this. Some people on here might say that your artistes don't make a living. Singing the traditional music of the people at prices all the people can afford. Excellent! As I stated often Traditional Folk music was supposed to be about the people for the people, not for financial whizz kid movers and shakers to vastly gain from. |

Posted: 01-Jul-2008 16:41 Speak Of The Devil.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/7482907.stm On ye go, you know who you are, get intae my tax money. They canny give the Police a pay rise yet...... I will add I have no problem with the youth development side of it, however established artistes should stand on their own two feet and stop robbing my tax and insurance money. Watch over the next year for the IN word for 'Stand and Deliver' , it will have 'Homecoming' attached to it. |

Posted: 01-Jul-2008 17:02 All the artists are getting paid a good rate. The gig is underwritten by Glasga Cooncil. It's a shame that they don't invest in more such events but I'm (with the help of some chums) working on it. |

Posted: 04-Jul-2008 14:29 They've updated the website with more info about the rest of the Glasgow Show, but somehow missed mentioning Dave Gibb and Catriona Molver (I have let them know of their error). But it's a great weekend and as boula2 says, great value. http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/Parks_Outdoors/theglasgowshow2008zones.htm |

Posted: 17-Jul-2008 12:38 They still haven't corrected the council website regarding the list of performers. Rest assured that the list I posted still stands. If you are a believer, pray for clement weather, otherwise keep your fingers crossed and bring a brolly ;¬D |

Posted: 24-Jul-2008 18:52 With the weather in Glasgow being as lovely as it is right now and with such an excellent line-up as this on offer, Saturday in The Folk Zone sounds like a perfect day out to me. See you guys there! |
