KNOCKENGORROCH
Scotland’s longest running greenfield festival | Est. 1998
https://www.knockengorroch.org.uk
Knockengorroch Festival was born from a love of the land, excellent roots music and celebrating the good times. They present unparalleled music, arts and workshops in a beautiful mountain riverside meadow, located deep in the Southern Uplands of Scotland.
In times long past the native hills and streams of Scotland shaped its music. Stream becomes river, rural track becomes urban street, the musical landscape of today’s global village is diverse, both urban and rurally inspired. But all music speaks a universal language.
Knockengorroch promotes multi-cultural forms and musical genres, highlighting the connection between roots music and the lands and people that created it. Music from all continents is presented alongside the best in Scottish talent to showcase music in both traditional and contemporary fields.
~~~~~~~~
Here at THE FERRET, we’re happy to collaborate with this excellent family-run festival to present a Preston party inspired by the sounds of Knockengorroch. Samson Sounds & Morphamish travel down from Scotland to give us a taste of the late-night atmosphere you can find in Knockengorroch’s fields. They’re joined by local talents Tyramyx & Luke Out, as we bring you a night of hearty rhythm, hefty bass & positive dancefloor vibrations.
