We are delighted to announce the line up for the goNORTH Seedlings Stage at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2011. Following the most ambitious and successful goNORTH to date, they are now set to bring an exciting, cross-genre selection of emerging artists to one of the finest independent festivals in the country.
‘Belladrum is a fantastic platform for new bands and year on year delivers a diverse, highly inventive festival experience’, said goNORTH Director Shaun Arnold. ‘The wider line up again looks excellent and it’s a real privilege to be programming the dedicated new music stage for 2011.’
‘We are delighted to be deepening our involvement still further with GoNorth this year, in that they have booked the majority of the acts on the goNORTH Seedlings Stage’, added Festival Booker Joe Gibbs. ‘The acts that they have programmed are the cream of local, Scottish and wider UK talent and we look forward to them playing in front of the Bella audience, one of the best audiences in the world.’
