Not only did we enjoy a bit of a heatwave last weekend, but thousands of us also enjoyed two nights of fantastic music right here on our own doorstep. And what a buzz there was!
That Oban Live was a huge success is in no doubt. Not only did 9,000 people from across Argyll and beyond attend the evening concerts at Mossfield Stadium, but many partied on into the wee hours at various fringe events in Oban pubs and clubs. This was on top of the busy trade enjoyed by restaurants, cafes and other businesses in the town.
The organisers should be proud of themselves, not only for bringing some of the biggest names in world music to Oban, but for giving many local businesses a much appreciated economic boost.
