Rockness 09

Being introduced to RockNess 2009 with the sight of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne ‘sphering’ around the audience with the glorious backdrop of Loch Ness framing the main stage majestically was certainly one of the more auspicious beginnings possible to a festival. In selecting their weekend acts, the organisers did veer towards leaning on the tried and tested, but that’s not to say there weren’t some interesting newcomers on display hoping to make a good impression.
