bryanb Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 After months of speculation the wraps have finally come off the first acts to be announced for this years eighth Loopallu Festival. Organisers are extremely pleased to have been chosen as the first festival outing for newly reformed greats The Fratellis. With a back catalogue of chart hits that include Chelsea Dagger, Henrietta and Whistle for the Choir they’re a certainty to set the crowd alight. Radio One favourite and act of the moment, Jake Bugg makes a return to Ullapool after enjoying his Highland acoustic tour at the start of the year. Jake Bugg is set to be one of the big break through acts of 2012 and a highlight of the Loopallu weekend. Other acts to feature in the first announcement include festival favourites, The Dangleberries bringing their high octane and unique brand of celtic rock; Lilygreen and McGuire fresh from supporting Westlife on their arena tour; and finally for this first batch of acts Shinty legend Gary Innes makes his Loopallu debut with Celtic/Gaelic cross-over act Manran. Jon Fratelli – photo by Paul Campbell Festival organiser Robert Hicks said: ‘We’re over the moon The Fratellis have chosen to make their festival comeback at Loopallu since reforming recently. With a back catalogue of hits like theirs, I challenge anyone not to jump around. I can’t wait. We’re also really pleased to have man of the moment Jake Bugg coming north. His little Highland Tour at the start of the year obviously had an effect on him. Catch him before he goes stella. Coupled with a long overdue return of festival favourites The Dangleberries attention has now got to turn to booking some fine weather!’ Loopallu takes place in the west coast village of Ullapool on Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd of September 2012 and doubles the population of the village for the weekend. As well as the usual eclectic line up of acts appearing at the festival big top and the fringe events after hours in the villages pubs, the festival will again provide a selection of fine food and drink from around the Highlands as well as the usual warm Ullapool welcome.

devilman Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Anyone got any more news? I'm going to see Halestorm in glasgow on the Sunday so making this a gig weekend is appealing but the Fratellis as the headliner is a bit depressing.

perthperson Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 looks like Anderson McGinty Webster Ward and Fisher (or whatever they're called ) are playing and I'm making a guess Stanley Odd might be playing as they're in Inverness that weekend - both really good bands.

devilman Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Decided I wanted to go despite the headliners, mainly because Kassidy are playing but it had sold out. Bummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammarocks Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I wasn't sure about going but seeing Kassidy again made up my mind. And it was wonderful!!!! Brilliant wee festival, wonderful location, great music, lovely friendlyatmosphere... Other than The Fratellis every act performed with energy and enthusiasm. The Fratellis music is just so good it needs little else but a wee bit more "we're happy to be here" would have been nice. I'd to Google Scouting For Girls to remember what they had done but when they were playing there was so much that I remembered. They were so much fun. For me though Kassidy were the performance of the festival. Looking forward to next year.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
