Rock Ness

For fear of boring everybody to tears, another irrelevant snippet of news from the North of Scotland. World famous DJ Fat Boy Slim (quote from Radio nan Gael: Who is he?) is hosting a concert on the shores of Loch Ness at the village of Dores, south of Inverness tomorrow. The gig is expected to draw about 20,000 pop fans. Who will have a whale (or should I say: monster) of a time, wallowing through mud whilst listening to music. The B862, which leads from Inverness to Dores, was quiet today, but punctuated by yellow notices about parking and camping. It is not your average pop venue, but perhaps all the more memorable for it.

  1. You're welcome to him! He did a free concert here on Brighton beach which was expected to draw around 20,000. 300,000 turned up, Brighton was at a stand still and the beach had to be closed for a month to be cleared of glass and rubbish. It cost us council tax payers a fortune to have the cleaning and policing that was neccessary! He did actually give a few thousand himself to help pay for it. Jeannette xx
