The Tarbert Loch Fyne Music Festival takes place in the small Scottish town of Tarbert from 19th - 21st September at a variety of venues over the weekend, the main event being in the Marquee on the Quay on Saturday night (admission, £5 on entrance).

I'll pencil this in my diary. Depends on the weather though.

A group of us boys went two years ago and it was a hoot.
The weekend has been pencilled in but I have been told to expect to be horse-kid-dog-cat sitting as the mem-sahib is off for a jolly.
I will shout closer to the time if this changes.

Music Festival

Rumour has it that the preparation work for the new pontoons begins this week. This could make obtaining a berth for the music festival even more interesting than usual. I am tempted to berth in Portavadie and catch the ferry.

Good idea but do you know if there are extra ferries on as the last one from Tarbert to Portavadie is at 1815hrs.

If there were enough who would commit, it might be worth asking Robert at Portavadie if they would consider running their RIB as a late ferry.

Just got back from a long weekend in Tarbert discussing new boats, viewing Scottish Moorings and catching up with Ash and Joan (more posts on this later). I can confirm that the preliminary work to drop the first piles starts in the coming week - weather permitting. The plans are posted on the side of the Toilet Block. This will see the older pontoon moved further out as the first phase. Yes - it's going to start the same time as the world-famous Tarbert Music Festival However I would call the Harbourmaster to get the latest news on moorings

The Butcher is still doing their famed 1lb steak pies - better than mine.

All the mooring space will be available all the time, and they will have 84 extra berths at the end of the works. Some swinging moorings will be lost. So it looks like business as usuall for the festival.
