The Kintyre Forum

The Burnside Bash is back on again this year folks and I have confirmed all my acts. I havent spoke to Kintyre Schools Pipe Band but im sure they will open it for us again again at 4. I will speak to them nicely at their concert next month.

Confirmed are


VIOLENT ECHO-Andra, Ian, Jamie and Ross come back this year to top the bill with a variety of covers to get the crowds jumping. What a great job they did last year im predicting a riot again.

A NEW HOPE-I cant believe that these boys are coming to do a bit. They were like the ecka in their day. I know that Buffa is still def in the band cause i booked it through him. Rest of the line up im not still sure about but i think it still is Stuart McMillan(rhtm gui and lead vox), Keith Gillies aka Buffa(Bass Gui),
Darren Brodie(lead gui) and I think Peter Graham on drums but im not sure. The boys play mostly covers too from manics to stone roses and oasis with the odd Bay City Rollers.

GORDON & JORDAN- Gordon & Steven come back this year to do the traditional stuff for us again. These are the ones you can sing along to.

FRANK ROCHFORD-Young Frank is getting the fiddle out to give you a few jigs. Footstomping tunes to get you in the mood for dancing.


So another great line up for the square this year already looking forward to it. The Burnside Bash follows on from Doon the Green which finishes at 4pm. A good idea for the square is a fold away chair or a blanket to sit on once you are there you wont want to move.

More acts might be added as the year passes but im just wanting to keep you up to date for the mo. The Burnside Bash is part of the Mull of Kintyre Music Festival. The Burnside Bash is weather permitting and wont go ahead if it is raining due to health & safety regs.

Should be a good afternoon then!
Glad to see A New Hope on the bill, remember them from school dances when I was in 1st year and probably too young to appreciate good music!
And it's my birthday that day so its vodka and lemonade if you're buying!

ur shameless plugging of yourself wouldve been better if u could spell

Well done Jamie for getting the fantastic A NEW HOPE to play.
Not everybody is into fiddles and bagpipes and their music will certainly get the crowd going.They dont just do covers. I remember a classic song written by young Stuart called " wrapped up in u" and who can forget the outstanding "cannonball"
Hope they play some of their own stuff.
Book them for the survivors night headline act for next year.

I think i remember the long thin drummer . Didn't he always wear fluffy slippers at gigs.

Aye i mind the drummer right enough young skulla & his fluffy slippers! still think the bass player was deadly! wrapped up in you & cannonball were aright at the time, but i've heard the new stuff is top class.

talking about come backs, i think young guns should make one, seemingly their lead singer knows every car no.plate from campbeltown to kilcousland. long live the king.

Seemingly the bass player oot "a new hope?" is trying to beat his record. cos he's deadly!

sire, of course anything you say is always correct, but i do seem to remember the bass player in nae hope as having a huge lego head. p.s the troops are in position, down with the toon infidels. long live the king.

aye he did have a lego head but as far as i can remember he was the best bass player this side of the rocky burn. i hope ther will be some "a new hope?" t-shirts available at the festival cos n e one wearing one would instantly become the coolest man since cool was invented! (llthk)

Hehehe,

And having said that, immense kudos to anybody in a band, because these days everyone seems to mime along to backing tracks. KEEP MUSIC LIVE !!!!

u clearly did not see scrotum pole

always worth the watching
specially for the time i fell asleep on my guitarists amp
oops

i'll take a new hope tshirt
