Fans of proper music may wish to catch
Memphis Louie an the Rockin Firebird of
Death at the Woodland Centre on
16th August, supporting
Crash My Model Car along with
Your Distant Cousin. It's an
"Acoustic" (oh, yus - MLATRFOD being
acoustic - that'll be right) warmup for the
proper "Sounds In The Grounds" do on
September 1st.

Fans of proper music will also be pleased to
know that The Guireans have been
"accidentally" omitted from the Woodlands
Centre acoustic gigs and from the main
"Sounds in the Grounds" outdoor event on 1st
September. Again.
However, there are rumours that volatile
Guireans manager Coinneach "Peat Road Grant"
Livingstone, outraged by the snub, is
planning to set up a guerrilla alternative
AGOFR stage on Sober Island, next to the
main "Sounds in the Grounds" stage on Cuddy
Point.
Music industry insiders allege that
Livingstone (73) has arranged a "loan" of
The Who's massive touring amplification
set-up for the day and intends to power It
from the Muirneag using a specially
purchased Woolies 4-way adaptor with an
extra-long cable.
On the Sober Island stage, a series of "new"
AGOFR acts such as
Your Ceardname Is
Murdo,
Our Leurbost
Activities and the
Hazey
Steinish will perform parallel
versions of the sets being played by the
artistes on Cuddy Point, but very loudly and
in an Avante-Gaelic stylee.
This will prevent Sounds In The
Grounds-goers from enjoying their favourite
bands and will thus avenge the insult to
Sandwick’s top AGOFR stars.
