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 winning 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.

The Belladrum Festival

The Tartan Heart Fringe and Belladrum Potting Shed Stage is sponsored by Square Wheels Cycles of Strathpeffer

"Belladrum is sometimes described as the "Glastonbury of the North", but it is much broader in its appeal. People from all social and class backgrounds are here and you quite literally see three generations of the same family all jumping to the same infectious rhythms. It is becoming a real focus of community cohesion and not a little pride among the thousands who gather here that they can stage something like this in the Highlands. The food is pretty damn good too". Ian MacWhirter The Herald

Medicine Music have been involved in promotion publicity and booking the Belladrum Festival from Year one.

Medicine Music book the roots acts across all stages and organise the potting shed stage and the belladrum fringe, and organise the radio support for the event.
We extend congratulations to all who work on the festival and to our friends and coleges who help to put the Fringe and Potting Shed Stage together.

MEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture"
