bryanb Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 The best small festival in the world has announced a little sister. The Loopallu festival on the banks of Loch Broom (Ullapool) now in its 4th year is pleased to announce a fringe tour 'Loop the Loop' featuring one of the UK's most talked about up and coming bands of the moment, Edinburgh's Broken Records. In the few short years since its creation Loopallu has gone from strength to strength and secured its place not only at the heart of the Scottish festival calendar, but the UK as a whole. The success of the event has not only put Ullapool on the map, but it has also had a tremendous positive economic impact on the village. With this in mind we thought it was time to offer a way of this spreading the Loopallu love a little further afield. With the help of EventScotland we have developed Loop the Loop as a fantastic opportunity to encourage people to start their Loopallu festival experience earlier and take in some of the other beautiful areas of the Highlands. So now your journey can start on the Monday and you can travel through the Highlands exploring some of the most stunning scenery imaginable, and round each day off by checking out the buzz band of the moment along with some great local support bands. Loop the Loop will take in the following: Isle of Skye on Monday 15th (Portree Community Centre) Isle of Mull on Tuesday 16th (An Tobar) Inverness on Wednesday 17th (Hootananny) Stornoway on Thursday 18th (Woodlands Centre) before finally ending up in Ullapool on Friday the 19th and Saturday 20th September. What better way to get yourself in the mood for Loopallu 2008! Each of the performances will be broadcast live over the internet and can be heard by visiting www.loopallu.co.uk www.myspace.com/loopallufestival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringo_Spar Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Excellent, we get to Inverness on the Wednesday! Would be silly to miss an opportunity to see a gig before heading west! Is the venue in the town centre, can anybody confirm and what's a good place to stay? Travelodges, etc.? Really looking forward to this now, and I booked the Royal Hotel, Ullapool for the Sunday night yesterday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
