HATS off to Skerryvore and the team behind Oban Live, which has been named Argyll and Bute’s biggest live music gig.
Everyone who attended last year’s inaugural Oban Live event, and all the businesses in the town – retailers, pubs, restaurants and accommodation providers – who benefited from the influx of people that weekend, will be delighted it is set to return. In fact, many music lovers, keen to not miss out on next year’s event, were quick to snap up the early discounted tickets for people living in and around Oban, which organisers made available for 48 hours only late last week.
It seems that other towns in the region have noted the event’s success and are keen to poach the music festival. Thankfully, Skerryvore are adamant it should remain in the town, as a thank you to Oban fans who have contributed to the band’s international success.
