Tartan Heart 2008

a bit of pot kettle black there methinks

I dont think anyone is disputing that they would be good at the festie.......just that they are not deserving of a headline slot!

encouraging people to single out one of the promoters to send what I can only assume is abusive messages is another

[rollergirl]

Well I thought that if everyone is sending negative messages, perhaps it was time to say something positive!

But that is the slot they have been given and good luck to them.

agreed.....doesn't mean everyone has to agree with the decision though

At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to their opinion and just because its not the same as yours doesn't mean its not right

Coming onto a forum for no other reason (imo) than to argue with another member is pointless

[rollergirl]

It was not my intention to come on here to argue with other members, I like you expressed an opinion - we disagree, which is kind of what keeps life interesting, all I am saying is that they are booked and that is not going to change, and like I have said before we should just look forward to it as after all everyone has agreed it is a great event.

[bint]

couldn't agree more

it has been my (and my 6 year old's) festie highlight for the last 2 years.......and im still hoping that I can say the same for this year

[rollergirl]

Just out of interest and perhaps for tips for my visit this year, what is it do you think that made it yours and your daughters festie highlight?

the very laid back atmosphere is probably the best i've experienced so far at a festival and I love the layout of the main stage as the kids can run about freely and still be seen at all times if you sit on the tiered grassy bit at the back, the kids activities are great and the campsite is never too crowded, the toilets are well maintained, the lack of neds and last but not least the chance to catch some good music along the way

All in all Bella has been a great experience......we also went to Beautiful Days in Devon last year which had a very similar vibe!

Oh and how did you know my 6 year old was a girl?

[bryanb]

Bryanb.......do you have any idea when the rest of the lineup will be announced? Are we still looking at April sometime?

[rollergirl]

In about 2 weeks time

[Paul ™]

Will that include the Saturday headliner?

[saraha]

In about 2 weeks time

[bryanb]

Will that include the Saturday headliner?

[thedementedpoppet]

yes it will

[saraha]

and would there be any more clues?

[music_nutter]

yes it will

[Red Day]

I'm getting a bad feeling about Bella. Okay it's only the first announcement but it is the headliner

[bint]

I'm hoping that we see one or more of the following acts on the list when it comes out in a couple of weeks time, but saying that I'm pretty happy just to be returning this year:

The Divine Comedy

The Waterboys

Shed Seven

Broken Records

& another batch of up and coming new acts like in 2007

[Trixibell]

i'm hoping for idlewild!! (i'll be praying to the music gods that they are there:D)

i have faith

quite fancy divine comedy too

[Red Day]

Just hoping that they announce tomorrow that SFG was only an early April Fool and that a real band will be headlining

[Starcraft]

Got to say me as a 45 year old who has already purchused tickets for this is not a happy bunny at all and even my two sons who are 19 and 22 are also not happy with SFG as headliners.

Please pull something decent out the bag for Saturday.

Wish I had booked for The Wizard now.

[thedementedpoppet]

Over the last four years I have looked forward to only two of the headliners (James and the Proclaimers btw) on the other years I have still enjoyed my self thoroughly. Belladrum is more than the headliners, it's about the people and the vibe. HOWEVER if this forum is indicative of the vibe this year (feb by the negativity towards SFG) I worry how this may change.

I understand that SFG is not everybody's cup of tea and that their positioning as a headliner is er contentious, but please can we not get over it?
