08 Bella best ever

Judging by the responses to our survey, Bella 08 was voted the best ever by fans. Here's how Virtual Festivals summed it up in its review: 'So there you have it. Belladrum; Glastonbury in miniature and the closest thing to the perfect festival you'll ever find.' We've started work on Bella's sixth birthday party, and we've already got a few surpirses for you up our sleeve. In the meantime, we've booked the very wonderful Kid Carpet (www.myspace.com/kidcarpet) who last wowed Bella audiences in 2006.
