The Mull of Kintyre Music Festival has presented over the years,
talented and world renowned musicians such as Capercaillie in
1993 to Davy Spillane, the creator of the original Riverdance
Sound in 1996, and this year is no exception. Arthur Johnstone,
a great friend to the festival, will introduce...
The Michael McGoldrick Band
A stunning flute player and Uilleann piper with a respect for
music that belies his mere 24 years. He has the capacity to make
traditional tunes live in an exciting and relevant way and the
ability to write some cracking tunes of his own. Michael has recorded
with other groups, among them Capercaillie and in 1995 won the
BBC Radio Two Young Tradition Award.
Deaf Shepherd
Making a welcome return to the town Deaf Shepherd have added an
impressive level of musical maturity to the already high-energy
intensity of their traditional jigs and reels, backed up by their
own increasingly confident song writing.
Tartan Amoebas
A dynamic new force, in a new style of folk-rock music producing
a vibrant cocktail of traditional reels, Caribbean rhythms and
funky jazz. The Tartan Amoebas present a highly individual and
irresistibly dancey take on ceilidh music. A talent to be reckoned
with and music to be "reely" enjoyed.
Ivan Drever & Duncan Chisholm
This pair are best known as key members of Wolfstone, where Duncan
Chisholm's fiery fiddle playing and Ivan Drever's expressive singing
and guitar work have made a powerful contribution to the success
of the band's supercharged Celtic rock, but this duo reveals a
more intimate facet of their music.
Chris Armstrong Band
Acclaimed as "an extraordinary young talent" on the pipes by no
less an authority than Fred Morrison - and he would know, Chris
Armstrong and his band are making their first visit to the festival
which promises to create a big birl! Campbeltown based Ross Kennedy,
a progenitor of the modern Scottish folk revival, is a band member
who has had enormous success on the festival circuit.

history and scenic beauty of the hill. After completion of the walk
(approx. 4pm) a slide show of George's photographs, complemented
