ArabiaTerra Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Don't you mean the Second Shetland Rock Festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrushthreepwood Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Oh? I wasn't aware there was a festival called The Shetland Rock Festival before now. When was this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 The last Shetland rock festival must have been twenty years ago. I recall seeing Deacon Blue and the Men They Couldn't Hang at Clickimin. I seem to think there were two of them bu I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabiaTerra Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 20 years ago? Closer to 30. And the headliners were Deacon Blue (before they got famous) and The Men They Couldn't Hang. I'm sure my sister has a program stashed somewhere. I'll see if she can find it and get a scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 It was 22 August 1987 http://www.circuslights.com/1987.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrushthreepwood Posted September 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Ahh brilliant. Well this was the first Shetland rock festival that is going to be turned into an annual event to fit into the music calendar along side the folk, jazz and blues festivals The weekend was a massive success with Friday at the legion being a sell out and 400+ coming to Mareel on Saturday!

zebedee Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 did anyone read that dreadful review in the paper? What did you think? it certainly didn't reflect my experience of Mareel on HMB night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
