For the latest Scots Whay Hae! Podcast Ali spoke to Ann Campbell who is the Festival Director of the Dunoon Film Festival which moves to Spring this year, and runs between 24th - 27th April. 

Ann talks about the history of the festival and the importance of the local community. She also explains her own role before breaking down this year's programme and what people can expect, emphasising that it is about so much more than just the films.

The two talk then talk about some of the highlights, including the attendance of Neil Brand (a silent film accompanist and presenter will present and perform live at three events), two special preview screenings of films that will have their UK release in May, Oscar winner I’m Still Here, big screen classics such as Oh, Brother Where Art Thou? and David Lynch's The Straight Story, a 70th anniversary singalong of Oklahoma!, and so much more.

Ann also explains the relationships with schools, local talent, and other partners who play a vital role in bringing the festival together. It's a warm and informative conversation which we hope will inspire you to take a trip doon the watter to attend what is one of the most varied and welcoming festivals around.

Do Yourself a Favour

The forgotten dream of egalitarian clubbing. Bloated club nights, money men making £'s from people's misery (Guido Fawkes). Best of British F'off.  We are all ex-ravers now.

Moon Landings

Teeming

Rich synths and driving complex beats carry along melodic bass and dreamy, strange vocals combining natural and artificial voices in harmony.
The lyrics are about a simultaneously ecstatic, comforting and relieving feeling that people can find inside themselves in the right circumstances. For some this is when falling asleep, when with a loved one, when in meditation, or when listening to music!

Home Sweet Home

Home Sweet Home (Radio Edit)

Following the release of her debut single After River, Scottish singer-songwriter Megan Airlie makes a welcome return through her alluring follow up single Honey, available to stream and download now via Bloc Music Records.

Showcasing her charming jazz/blues vocals, Honey accentuates Megan's breathtaking natural talent as well as her ability to transmit intense, personal vignettes through her music.

Measured, laid back guitar segments are accented beautifully by the shimmering rich texture of Megan's chanteuse style vocal, neatly brought together by the gorgeous tone of twinkling piano.
Having already picked up support from the likes of The Line of Best Fit, BBC Radio Scotland, Hoxton Radio, Podcart and Songwriting Magazine, Megan will be looking to build upon this early success while enhancing her burgeoning reputation throughout the UK
and beyond.

Honey is out now.
