Revellers attending Tiree Music Festival this summer will be treated to delicious food cooked by celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.
The famous chef will be cooking up a storm using local produce with the star from his River Cottage apprentice scheme, Sam Lomas.
Headlined by iconic Scottish rock band The Fratellis, Tiree Music Festival (TMF) takes place from July 17-19.
Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall said: “As a regular visitor to Tiree I am looking forward to collaborating with one of Tiree’s best known caterers, Sian Milne of Beachcomber Cafe, to create a ‘pop-up’ cafe and take away at the festival.
“With chef Sam Lomas, our first Rising Star graduate of the River Cottage apprenticeship scheme, at the helm, we plan to offer a simple but delicious menu based around the finest Tiree and Argyll produce.”
Tickets for this year’s festival sold out in under five hours following festival organisers unveiling the most diverse event line up yet.
The 2015 line-up includes The Fratellis, Funbox, We Banjo 3, Skerryvore, Manran, Gentlemen of Few, Skipinnish, The Chaplins, Cherry Grove, Trail West, Gunna Sound, Dun Mor, The Lowground and Chunks.
Famed for its laid back atmosphere, TMF attracts a diverse audience and is well-known as being one of the most family-friendly in the UK.
The multi-award winning event has sold out every year since its inception in 2010, with early bird tickets for 2015 being snapped up in a record breaking six hours last December.
Due to demand, the festival took place over three days for the first time and expanded its capacity in 2014 to 1600 – more than three times the population of Tiree.
Jon Fratelli said: “We are really looking forward to playing TMF. We have heard the crowds are brilliant and it looks like a stunning setting. It will be our only festival performance in Scotland this summer as we are in the studio at the moment so TMF punters will have the chance to hear some of our new tracks.”
The island is as appealing as the music – nicknamed The Hawaii of the North due to its beautiful beaches and picturesque surroundings, the festival takes place next to the white sands of Crossapol Bay.
TMF was named Best Small Event at the UK Event Awards.
