Quellers of Ruddy Gerontophobia,
Tigerfest is a collection of May gigs that have been organised over the past few years in Dunfermline, although other appointments are scheduled in Aberdeen and Embra.
The centrepiece of the Dunfermline event is a run of four concerts in Carnegie Hall and limited concession prices of £10 for all four, the musicologist can receive good value if they care for such small potatoes as currency. The great thing about these concerts is that they have quality throughout their billing and I’d like to see some of the acts that are second or third on the bill headline concerts in the Kingdom of Fife. The problem the Kingdom and music have always faced is that they have no place to come together and meet the people, and that they have nobody willing to gamble upon them. I’ve said before that strategic education of the public to whose these great bands are, focussed marketing through internet and radio and effort of the bands themselves to attract a travelling to crowd to bolster the locals who at first will be weary.
Top Fencester, James Yorkston leads the Carnegie Hall dates. What emphasises the quality of the Tigerfest bill is that Saint Jude’s Infirmary (masters of mood, Goodbye Jack Vettriano is a monster) and Rosie Taylor Project (creators of the best Belle & Sebastian song since Belle & Sebastian last sang, Good Café on George Street) are only 4th and 3rd on the Friday night bill. Saturday seems to be a Chemikal Underground special with De Rosa supporting Lord Cut-Glass, with Angil and the Hiddentracks also on the bill.
Hippo are not part of the line-up but Carl Barat is bound for Dunfermline, it’s important that musicologists of the Kingdom attend what they can to demonstrate that we’re worth visiting.
