For those of you with minds deep in the proverbial gutter, no, we’re not talking about a New Zealander’s four-hoofed best friend, we’re talking about Shaggy Sheep Tours – a unique Welsh tour company offering guided trips around beautiful Celtic Wales.

On July 21 and 22 clans of people from all corners of the kingdom converge in deepest Galloway, South-West Scotland, for cult, craic, contemporary sounds and some chords from the past.

With Saturday’s main stage bursting with big sounds from The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, The Animals, Pama International, Kid Ego and Steve Hillage & System 7.
Midnight on Saturday also witnesses a spectacular sacrifice with the burning of a 30ft wicker man – symbolic to the 70’s cult movie, which will be introduced by none other than the “God of Hellfire� himself Arthur Brown.
