Preview: Pale Imitation Festival 2014

In a mad attempt (of sorts) to compete with the Edinburgh Festival. Or rather, try to give local musical talent some exposure amongst the dirge of imported ‘entertainment’. Song, by Toad has announced a “cheap and cheerful festival of Scottish music”. The events will be held at Henry’s Cellar Bar in Edinburgh over the course of August. And there are some cracking bands involved. Meursault, PAWS, Jonnie Common, Adam Stafford, Rick Redbeard, LAW, The Yawns & eagleowl. Plus loads of other fine Scottish acts.
