Organization News

The 19th September 2003 is gonna be a date you'll want to put in your diary, organiser, write on your foreheard backwards in permanent marker . .

The great, the marvellous, the spectacular, the exciting . . . . I'm sure you get the idea show of 'Assipattle' (remember that name, everyone who's anyone will be talking about it)starts at 7.30pm at Market Square, Wick on that great date and ends amazingly at the famous harbour.

'Assipattle' is a folk tale native to Caithness and has all the essential ingredients of courageous boys, evil step-queens, beautiful maidens and a stoorworm (kinda like a dragon) mixed with more contemporary elements of Fire, disco dance and motor-bikes to name but a few.

Want to know if its all a happy ending?
Well I'm not telling you so you'll just have to see for yourself!

Its FREE so you have no excuse, donations would be accepted though to go towards nexts years festival.

Please wrap up warm as we don't want you turning blue and missing the end!
