With a near miss when one of the steward's nearly "caught the caber" we present a snippet of Kilmore Games 2009 - near Oban. For all the thrills and spills of the Kilmore and Kilbride Games The Oban Times has specially recorded the Caber Tossing Competition. Watch world heavy weigh Scottish champions compete against Canadian newcomers. It was a record breaking day at the Kilmore and Kilbride Highland Games and not only for the sunshine. In bright sunlight an international crowd saw youngsters and veterans take part in all the usual Highland Games fayre with a local flavour of Haggis Hurling and Pillow Fighting. But with record breaking attempts by local youngsters the games are also a training ground for athletes. Three burly-men, John Jans, Berle Conrad and Shaun Borelan, from Ontario spent their last day in Scotland competing at the heavy weight events. The Canadian men who compete at events throughout north America said there was nothing like the Scottish crowd.

Four instruments, two dynamic voices, and a record of relentless touring have earned virtuosic indie-groove rock duo the StereoFidelics their reputation as a superb, high-energy live act.magine you're back in time enjoying the groove and virtuosity of 70's art-rock band, then hurled decades forward, colliding with the energy and intensity of today's indie rock scene. There's unexpectedly powerful jazzy female vocals intertwined with a strong, satin-smooth male voice. Thumping synth basslines and popping, funky drumbeats drive the skillfully intricate guitar playing and explosions of electric violin string-shredding. Reflecting their influences of past and present (including Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, the Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, and the White Stripes), the StereoFidelics avoid performing with loops, computers, and digital effects in favor of the more organic approach of using Moog Taurus pedals, scat vocal solos, and multi-instrumentalism. You see, the fast-fingered guitar player (Chris Padgett) keeps the basslines pounding through a one-octave floor keyboard, the tiny female vocalist (Melissa McGinley) is also the drummer; he sings too, and she plays violin. They perform with a natural passion and synchronicity that not only dispels any association with the herky-jerky one-man-band cliché, but post-performance, leaves their audience sympathetically exhausted and dripping with sweat. Known for booking their own tours, designing album covers, screen printing tour t ...
