On paper they said it wouldn’t work, a festival in late September in a remote village on the West Coast of Scotland 60 miles from the nearest town, but here we are seven years later having had the likes of Paolo Nutini, Mumford & Sons, Franz Ferdinand and this years headliners The Fratellis and Scouting For Girls grace our little stage.

Thank you from all of us, to all of you who attended, played or crewed to make this (we think) the best Loopallu yet.

See you all in 2013.
