Mugdock Music Festival 2008

-->

Mugdock Music festival was the idea of Erne Parkin who ran the successful 'Place for Music' in Milngavie for several years. His thought was a festival with colour and a wide range of artists much as he'd known back in the north of England. He was a larger than life character. His drive, energy, enthusiasms and ideas were boundless. The festival began in 2007 and ran for 3 years. Sadly in July 2010 Erne died suddenly. His passing was greatly missed by the community. My son plays in a rock band with Erne's younger son Michael - hoping for gigs soon! One of the highlights for me was Michael Marra singing at the perfect small theatre there for the Saturday night concert.
