Grass Roots UK Festival Award 2008 For Belladrum Festival

Thanks to every one who rolled up there sleeves for the fringe and Belladrum, The Tartan Heart Fringe and The Potting Shed Stage 2008 in the run up, on what turned out to be an award filled year.

I couldn't think of a better award to be recognised for.

Often the best small festivals spring from an organic labour of love and a long-time dream which has been shared by thousands more. These festivals should be celebrated, not just for the courage and vision shown by their organisers, but also because they never forget where they've come from, supporting their local communities and new music along the way whilst retaining an independent spirit and resisting the allure of commercial sponsorship. http://www.festivalawards.com

Much of that spirit of Belladrum and what brought this attention is the good work you guys do for your community and for us, so thanks again looking forward to 2009.

The Tartan Heart Fringe has a record of being first to find talent and bring them to the Highlands IE Seasick Steve, Mia Riddle, Blou Robberto Cassani. The proverbial "Hard Acts To Follow"
