Isle of Mull Music Fesival.







Hi Folks, sorry for the delay in posting this. The Mull music festival took place
23rd,24th and 25th April. In attendance was, Akkie, Roy, Jingles, Stevie Cabletie, Veronica, Joe the Tiler, Joe the Dancing Joiner and me.

First we will chat about the reason for the delay. I either lost (which I doubt) the memory card from my camera, or someone took it from the camera, probably after I annoyed them by blinding them with the flash then having the cheek to ask them to take a picture of us. Anyway, Akkie has kindly given me some pictures from his camera to put on here.

Akkie, Roy, Jingles and myself were holed up in a caravan up at Lochnameal, which is about 3 miles from Tobermory up a dirt track about one mile long. The location and the caravan were excellent but trying to get into where the action was going off was a bit hard mostly due to the fact that taxis drivers didnt like their vehicle being wrecked driving up the bumpy dirt track.

On the Saturday we all decided that drinking and watching horse racing was what music festivals are all about, so we all met up at our gaff. After a while drinking and, due to the lack of a betting shop up that bumpy lane, we thought that we would have some fun picking a horse by number on the next races, placing a pound bet on the table. The agreement was that the person with the closest number to the winning horse lifted the money. Oh what fun!!! After a while the hunger set in and I as the appointed chef for the evening had to carefully place the steak pies and pizzas in the oven, and cook some beans. Easy this cooking lark. One thing you must remember with gas cookers with a white metal lid is to turn the gas off before you close the lid, the other equally important part of this proceedure is not to place a plastic bread bin on the afore mentioned cooker lid, because they melt. The woman who owned the caravan charged us £60 for the damage, I'd have been cheaper treating the company to a slap up Indian meal.

The festival was great as usual and we are all looking forward to next year already.
