Bags of Rock concert Victoria Hall Saturday 26th May

Glasgow based Bags of Rock, who take bagpiping to a new level, are coming to Campbeltown after some local LOUD MUSIC lovers saw the band headlining the Cowal Highland Gathering and thought they would suit Kintyre down to a tee.

Proceeds from the concert at the end of this month, will benefit three local charities. Argyll FM, Kintyre Schools Pipe Band Association and the Kintyre Cultural Forum will receive the proceeds from the concert in the Victoria Hall on May 26.

Bags of Rock, who headlined the Inverness Hogmanay party as well as playing at many of Scotland’s top venues, features the well-known mohawked, madcap celtic-rock guitarist Gregor ‘G-man’ James; the lone piper who performed to a televised audience of a billion people as the Dehli commonwealth games ‘hero piper’; the current solo world champion snare drummer on percussion and a rhythm section incorporating the cream of Scotland’s session scene.

Tickets for the Ooragood Promotions Event are available from:-
AP Taylor,47 Main Street;
The HeadQuarters,12 Hall Street;
and ArgyllFM

Thought I would post up a link to the Bags of Rock website as it has a good YouTube clip which should give you a better idea of what to expect on Saturday night.

Is this an over 18 concert? My 16 year old son would like to go but no one seems to know if it's over 18s only.

Is it my imagination, or was this event not very well publicized? The Victoria Hall was less than half full - shame because Bags of Rock were brilliant. My thoughts on the night...

Thanks. I only review the things I enjoy, which is sort of cheating. Or really bad things where you can work up a proper rant.
