Tartan Heart 2008

[Jill G]

quite happy with the line up and plenty more time for more announcements and its the atmosphere that makes this festy worth it last year I suspect I saw around 9 bands maybe bust had a blast due to the banter that was about

[Gowie]

Just found out that the Kazoo Funk Orchestra are playing. Their name isn't as literal as I'd have hoped but how brilliant do they sound? Check them out.

Bought a new tent for Bella and a couple of other fests the family are going to after last years tent theft from my car.

Now needing good mattresses for me and the Mrs because we have had crap sleeping apparatus for ages.

Looks about the right size for Scouting of Girls headline performance.

Ha ha, . I realy think they should swap stages for Idlewild and SFG. Idlewild headlined the second stage at Connect last year, more than SGF could do. This has got Kate Nash tent mistake written all over it.

[irons]

The gf and kids are going to see SFG, I'm going with mates to see Idlewild, not a hard decision for me realy.

I'm not saying that SFG don't deserve a main stage slot, just think Idlewild could be a bit cramped in a tent.

Went to see The Levellers last night and was speaking to a couple of the band at the Merch stall. I had my Connect t-shirt on from last year and they were asking about the festival.

I also mentioned Bella and they said that they'd heard it was a good wee festival and would no doubt play if asked. Hope someone approaches them for next year.

Ok folks we know whos not happy with the line up, we know who is, whos going and who isn't so can we draw a line under it until the net annoucement and get on with a bit of bella lovin, i will be decorating all summer and personally cant wait till this festival as there are gonna be 6 of us this year and 5 kids all camped together from the Thursday.

I,ll start by asking those who are going what they're most looking forward to....................

Personally i can't wait to supp a few cold Black isle brewery organic lagers, have a big barbie on the Thursday and have a shoogle at the Celidh

Anyone else?

Just got my tickets and am looking forward the craic and the music (cage the elephant do sound as if they will be good). I hope that there is a bit more organisation with the comedy tent this year (I liked the cabaret format of the outsider comedy tent). It would also be cool if the late night movies are a bit more adult (maybe one night a horror? or music film) and please please make the capacity a bit bigger for the cinema. I am hoping that after rockness that a wee bit more structure to the line up will happen.

While I am here both the levellers and the editors have said they would play if they were asked, they would make great headliners next year (Joe please take note)

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Yeah another announcement would be good, do you get a map or running order on the thursday?

[Bergerac]

On the lineup front I read today that The Divine Comedy, The Long Blondes, Macabees and The Rascals will all be added at some point.

If the divine comedy are playing i may self combust.

[ben_cosmia]

In a good way or a bad way? Come to think of it is there really a good way to self combust, I'm thinking no.

[Kowalski]

in a good way for me.

would single handedly improve the line up vastly.

[ben_cosmia]

Done nothing since National Express.
