the only thing Ingliston will be trading on the 30th September is Rock n' Roll
| 14 Aug 2006
Better known for its Sunday market, the only thing Ingliston will be trading on the 30th of September is Rock n' Roll. With a luxurious line up confirmed for this year's Let's Rock! Edinburgh, Scotland's capital will bring the curtain down on the 2006 festival season in a manner that befits a George Street boutique.
Staged at The Royal Highland Centre, this mini festival musters up a musical bargain to go easy on the pocket whilst electrifying the eardrums.
Fresh from the release of a (not quite) chart topping singles collection, headliners Feeder will be setting their stadium-esque stall with a feisty barrage of anthemic rock that'll have the penny pinchers reaching for their wallets. Whilst perennial indie bridesmaids Idlewild can be seen flaunting their stargazing punk in a brave attempt at finally selling it into your heart.
Rag (or should that be skag?) n' Bone man Pete Doherty will be haggling the price of his street-urchin songsmithery in the guise of Babyshambles – so expect to be coaxed, or just slapped, into buying his 'songwriter of a generation' shenanigans. And with fellow Londoners The Rakes joining the bill, you'd best be on your guard as these southern ragamuffins attempt to steal your affection like a modern day Roger The Dodger.
Charity shop hipsters The Long Blondes are sure to be the festival's most revered purchase. Sleek and slender, this art-chic quintet makes brassy retro-punk fuelled by the spirit of Ari Up and Blondie. But if you prefer a less vigorous sell there's always the entrepreneurial craft of The Boy Least Likely To. Gushing with sickly sweet acoustics, this feyly twee duo will charm you to within an inch of your last copper coin.
Accommodating over thirty acts on three indoor stages, Let's Rock! Edinburgh promises to be Scotland's most exciting - mud free – all day festival. And, in showcasing thirteen up and coming local bands, it not only provides a gathering of internationally established acts but cultivates the future of the nation's music scene.
So, as Ingliston prepares for a day's trading at this temporarily melodic market, make sure you don't miss out on the musical deal of the year.
Let's Rock! Edinburgh kicks off at 12pm on Saturday September 30th 2006.
Tickets are £38.00
