Festival Preview : Franklin Fest, Edinburgh
- Written by Kenneth McMurtrie
Finally the long wait occasioned by its successful first edition is over as the hottest (& coolest) garage 'n' roll event of the Scottish summer has announced the initial bands in its 2016 line-up.
Legends of the scene The Embrooks and Thee Jezebels will be joined by The Mind Readers, "Hastings' premier nuclear age garage surf instrumental combo" The Sine Waves, the ludicrously energetic & upbeat Oh! Gunquit & the current kings of the French scene Les Grys Grys (both returning after knockout shows at the Franklin Rock 'N' Roll Club in 2015).
Tickets (£35 + £3 booking fee for the whole weekend) for the event can be obtained here. Don't hang about as they won't, given the international reputation of the weekender. We'll be sure to bring you further additions to the already top class bill once we have them. Keep an eye out too for interviews with a number of the acts.
