The Dangleberries

On the subject of ‘weird’, although virtually anonymous outside of Kirkcudbrightshire, special mention must be made of local band The Dangleberries. Let’s put it this way: when you’ve seen 16 fired-up, kilt-wearing Scots crammed onto a (frankly quite small) stage, playing a cover of Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’ arranged for the bagpipes, you’ve seen it all. A regular feature on the Wickerman they have something of a reputation for putting on a seriously fun show, and as such a crowd that rocks (and indeed rolls) to their blend of traditional Gaelic reels and bizarre rock covers, almost surpasses that of the festival’s headliners.
