- "I thought this year's festival was a
great success, it may have lost some of the personal touch with
less interesting food and more burger vans but the line-up was
great with my highlights being the dancers from Ghana, the
Federation of Disco Pimp and the Peatbog Faeries…all
outstanding ! More local areas should follow in your footsteps
to create a fun and exciting day out for all the family which
even the weather cannot dampen. Roll on next year !!!!"
Jennifer
- "Very enjoyable....I think you have a
real potential to expand the dance arena as there is not enough
attention paid to multicultural dance at mainstream Scottish
festivals". Ronnie, Dundee
- "Had a great day. Terrific mix of
dance and music. Missed the pakora though. Best of all, this
great event all took place on our own doorstep. A terrific
THANK YOU to everyone! Looking forward to next year's event! "
Anne, Kilsyth
- "It was a great day. Fantastic - the
only complaint we had was that we had to park by the walled
garden - at times I have to use a wheel chair - it would
be very difficult for a carer to hold on to the chair down the
hill ". Jean, Kilsyth

admission charges!
