Le Weekend in Stirling
For being Scotland’s smallest and newest city, Stirling certainly rocks.
Whatever else I may have to say about the place, musically it knows how to kick ass. Bob Dylan, REM, Van Morrisson et al. all have played at the castle esplanade up the hill (Van Morrisson kept the lights on in the castle until the sun came up – God I wish I could have gate-crashed that party…) and since 1998 the Tolbooth Arts and Community centre has held an annual experimental music festival, Le Weekend. it is on this week from 27th-30th May (almost La Semaine then!) and who knows, I might go. Then again perhaps not. I have just spent an hour in front of a mirror, cutting my hair (ever tried to do that in front of a mirror?). I hope that it will have grown out a bit in time for the BootsNall party…
