Isle of Skye Music Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Isle of Skye Music Festival is a mixed music festival that takes place on the Ashaig Airstrip near Broadford, Scotland. One of the earliest in the year, the event kicks off the festival season and occurs in late May, a month known on the Island to be the driest in the year. From this location there are spectacular views of the coast and Cuillin mountains; organisers describe it as "the most impressive backdrop of any UK festival".
The festival won the "Most Fan-Friendly Festival" award at the UK Festival Awards 2006. The Festival offers onsite parking, a dedicated bus service and camping facilities.
The festival includes a mix of Scottish and international artists. It also seeks to promote the island’s cultural identity by featuring lesser known local bands and by selling traditional food such as porridge and local wild boar burgers.
In 2007 the festival was linked with the Highland 2007 culture festival. This move aimed to involve the western isles and elevate their cultural presence in Highland 2007.
