Doune The Rabbit Hole additions!

Hidden Orchestra

Pram

We are thrilled to announce that Fife’s finest musical monarch, King Creosote will headline the main stage at Doune The Rabbit Hole Festival on Saturday August 25th and his Fence Records cohorts Kid Canaveral will top the bill along with Hidden Orchestra on Sunday August 26th.

Other acts joining us at Duncarron Fort include otherworldly indie experimentalists Pram, anti-folk hero Jeffrey Lewis &The Junkyard and indie-loving stand up comic Josie Long, who will perform on the spoken word stage.

Sunday takes a musically adventurous turn with Edinburgh’s Hidden Orchestra, who blend jazz, hip-hop and classical styles; the colourfully out-there stylings of Orchestra of Spheres; and the first performance of a new collaborative music project called The Brotherhood of The Blue Ship.

All these and many more acts for will play Doune The Rabbit Hole Festival, which takes place at Duncarron Fort, near Kilsyth, on the weekend of August 24-26th 2012.

All this in addition to those acts already announced, including The Phantom Band, Aidan Moffat & Bill Wells, Sparrow & The Workshop, Three Blind Wolves, Withered Hand and JD Twitch (Optimo).

About MUSIC NEWS Scotland

MUSIC NEWS Scotland was born 20 years ago when dial up broadband was still around and desktop pc’s ruled. So we did what had been done since 220 AD in China and every month put ink on a printing plate, ran some paper over it and hey presto MNS was published (okay it was a wee bit more involved than that, but the basic principle was the same!) Move on to 2011 with high speed broadband and access to the www everywhere and the future was catching up with us rapidly. The volume of information flowing into MNS HQ was more than our monthly issue could cope with, and more and more Scottish music stories of great value were being spiked (an old press term not a dodgy drink). Reaching our vast number of readers in every conceivable nook and cranny of Scotland has always been a challenge monthly but to do that more often was physically not feasible. So we have doffed oor tam o’ shanter to the future and MNS is now a weekly digital publication, and not only weekly now but twice the number of pages than our old printed friend! Along with our MNS GIGguide and MNS FESTIVALS! supplements we are now publishing news and valuable information on Scottish music news every week :) We remain as true as ever to our launch roots of 8 years ago though - MUSIC NEWS Scotland supports all Scottish bands and performers no matter what style of music you’re involved in. Our aim is to circulate music industry news and to help to raise the profile of musicians and improve communications between genres. To help achieve this copies of MUSIC NEWS Scotland are emailed to key industry contacts throughout the UK. Thank you for your support over the last 8 years and please raise a glass to our digital future with you all. Thanks for your support, The MNS team!
