Wickerman Lives (near Kirkubright seemingly)

This weekend saw us play a blistering set at the lovely Wickerman Festival, courtesy of The Shoogakube Collective. Wee Sally-Ann(?) below was a witness. As you can see, she's become the youngest funker to join the Mosa fold:

Sista Birte gets all old-skool hippy on us - Bagpuss will be wanting his fur back by the looks of it too...

Watching me watching you watching me watching you etc,etc...(do you get the picture?)

The end of a fantastic day was heralded by the burning of the Wickerman on a wee hillock - most complements went out to the Shoogakube-run Rowan Tent. All the live acts and djs put in a such a storming performance that the tent was packed all day with enthusiastic music lovers. We all look forward to next year and maybe we'll see you there again! Shout out to Ian Appleby for all his organisational skills and effort in pulling off a memorable event.

From G8 to T's Great (groan!)

A volatile week in the news and a busy week for the Mosa kids. First of the week kicked off with a G8 fundraiser Rhythms & Resistance with the Figure 5 at the SubClub on Tuesday night.

Friday saw the Mosa circus arriving at Balado for a special private T in the Park-related event at a secret location, all in aid of Common Ground and The Thistle Foundation.

The event was opened by fine young upstarts Crossed Out (pictured below) who, with an average age of 15, gave us a run for our money!

Powercut Productions followed with a blinding set from Freestyle Master, Damaged Goodz, Cad and Steg G providing the crowd with some up to the minute Raw Scottish Hip Hop.

As for us... everyone who was there witnessed a special gig - video proof to follow. Watch this space.

Also hats off to Red Organ Serpent Sound (close friends of a certain Mosa) who played an incredible set in the futures tent on the Sunday. These guys from Derry are going to be huge. Check them out if you get the chance and remember where you heard it first (pictures below):

Carnivalistic!

Sunday 26th- Carnival Arts. Mairead jumps off-stage to get friendly with the stilt-walkers. Talk about Pole Dancing...

A busy weekend for the Mosas kicked off with a friday night headline spot at the Soundhaus. Check the pictures below for evidence! We then swapped the smoky atmosphere of the club for the warm sunshine of the Carnival Arts Merchant City Parade on sunday afternoon. Thanks to the Carnival Arts crew and Shoogakube for a dazzling weekend. Special VIP shout out to Michael for his engineering skillz.
