[somerled]

cheers for that Somerled, that description has got me even more excited.

have to say I was absoloutely delighted to find out it's Echo and the Bunnymen rather than Travis for the saturday night, have wanted to see them for years!

hopefully see some of you at the festival then, will just be me and the wife so a meet up would be great!

cheers

I take it the Paul one will be sorting out an E-fest camp/meet, but we all will end up colliding with each other anyway.

[Paul ™]

Are there still more bands to be announced for Loopallu? How many bands tend to play each day? And when-oh-when are they going to update their site for the fringe bit?!!!

Paul will pm you later in the week re e-fest camp

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Ok some questions from a first timer.

Will i need to bring much food as Somer points out there are loads of cafes and chip shops.

What is the script with the fringe gigs, do you need a wrist band to gain entry or is it just normal pub rules apply?

Also are the pubs/inns open whilst the fest is on for food and alike?

What time do the fringe places close?

How much walking is it from the car park to the actual festival camp?

Can't think of anymore but will later.

More questions...................

When is it best to leave the fest at night to garuntee entry to one of the venues?

What is the capacity of this festival?

[somerled]

good organisation skills paul!

I'm a little bit ashamed to say me and the wife are staying in a B&B, we don't have a tent and got a cheap price so kind of made sense.

defo up for a numbers swap so we can meet up for some beers at some point though!

[somerled]

231 miles each way (around 65 more than trip to Bella).............really tempted, not so much by the bands but more by the whole vibe being described here.

is it worth it?

[Paul ™]

You'll love it. What other festival can you feed seals your fish supper?

[somerled]

Aye tis good... just do it
