Admiral Fallow frontman ready to wow Kintyre crowds
THE NINTH annual Kintyre Songwriters Festival is set to rock into Campbeltown this weekend.
Tonight (Friday) sees bands hit Whisky Macs, with eight acts performing including Violent Echo, Gullion, The Shift and Bob Ross Appreciation Society.
Ultra-hip
At the White Hart on Saturday, the headliner will be Martha Ffion, who has been played regularly on BBC 6 Music after signing to the ultra-hip Turnstile Records label.
She will be joined by pop renegade Marc Rooney, frontman of Glasgow indie institution Pronto Mama, and Mayor Stubbs.
Saturday will also feature The Gilchristians, playing the music of festival founder Kenneth Campbell Gilchrist, and many more including Matt McAllister, Adam Fortune and Sleeping With The Enemy.
Sunday night headliner is Louis Abbott, singer and songwriter with top Scottish indie act Admiral Fallow, who have headlined countless festivals and just been nominated for Scottish album of the year.
He is joined by acoustic guitar wizard Finn LeMarinel, and upand-coming Glaswegian female singer-songwriter Shanine Gallagher.
Anticipated
The last night will also feature the highly anticipated return of ‘turbo-dreich’ from The Wild Sarachs, alongside other regular local performers like The Twisted Melons and David Fee.
Although online ticket sales are now closed, there will be tickets available on the door at the White Hart if people arrive early.
