imagine my surprise. i popped up to inverness for a flying visit to bump into a fringe festival! yes. but no, not edinburgh, belladrum! got to see some amazing acts and performers, mostly in Hootanannys (sp?).

Amongst them where the steadfast and sure performance of Calamateur, an old favourite (!) here; newest on my indie-chick list, Mia Riddle, whose quality was spoiling us ambassador… check her out on her uk tour.

A bearded blues guitarist, who must have been at least 60 took everyone my storm, Sea Sick Steve or C-16 as we first thought! But, performance and entertainment wise, Tiny Dancers, complete with head dress were fantastic. Go see! Or at least visit MySpace, well TheirSpace, you know… or see it all here.
