I recently ran acrossed an article about the recent music event in Scotland called “RockNess”. I am always curious about these Woodstock wannabees and how they come off, but it seems this one is getting a bit of a dark history already in it’s few short years of existence.
It seems an 18 year old died at this years event which took place this last weekend which happens at an area on the Banks of Loch Ness no less. What’s unusual is that someone else died last year at this event too. The authorities haven’t released the details of the 18 year old’s death yet, but I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t natural causes.
Last year’s unfortunate party apparently died of a Heroin overdose in his car, but the circumstances of both deaths seem to be a little strange to say the least. Ever since the Fiasco at Altimont, these large rock festivals have been places of both pleasure and peril and the peril could come from the Hell’s Angels or perhaps the Loch Ness Monster.
Anyway, Here’s a link to the story I found, read at your convenience, but attend any future RockNess event at your own RISK!

Hey Rockness is one of the friendliest music festivals I have had the pleasure of attending and I have been going to festivals for decades.
There is always an idiot or two that take things too far and there are always sad things that happen by chance. The facts are that there were 35,000+ people there partying and less than 10 arrests. I would reserve judgement until the facts of the death are released but how many die in our cities over each and every weekend?
Comparitively speaking such music festivals are far, far safer than a friday or saturday night out on the town!
Take a look at my photographs at

and then formulate an opinion
Rockness was amazing but the two deaths in three years is truly tragic and the Rockness team, police and authorities are continually working to reduce such disasters at every UK & Scottish music festival.
Remember, if you are looking for trouble it won’t be long before it finds you but if you wish to avoid trouble you will have a hard job finding it. But then again there is no accounting for bad luck
