Doune the Rabbit Hole
Scotland is not short of bijou familyfriendly boutique festivals – Doune the Rabbit Hole is the one for the music connoisseurs. Highlights from this year’s quality line-up include the wonderful Songhoy Blues from Mali, art rockers Liars, the awesome jazz classical warriors Tinderbox Orchestra, a tribute performance of Daft Punk’s Discovery album, Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble, the mellow Afrobeat-inflected whimsy of Francois & the Atlas Mountains, space cowboy Adam Torres, local upstarts Pronto Mama and Happy Meals and self-styled snookerstar DJ Steve Davis. ■ Cardross Estate, Port of Mentieth, Stirling, 18-20 August, www. dounetherabbithole.co.uk
