Rock Ness

Fatboy decided to do a gig on Loch Ness last summer. It turned into an all day event, with other DJs such as Mylo and Carl Cox playing. The setting was amazing - in the basin of Loch Ness, the Loch in front of you and mountains surrounding you. And it didn't even rain too much - there were even a few burnt noses by the end of the day!

This is to become an annual event; the current rumour is that it will be a 2 day event this year (9th-10th June), one day bands, the other dance.

Sarti

For grat authentic Italian food head to Sarti's in Glasgow. This family run restaurant has three locations in the city centre. The thinnest pizzas and fab pastas this is a must do. Price wise it is very reasonable with most dishes around the £7.00 mark.
