Very few craft /produce stalls also only 1 van to eat at with over inflated prices. Trucks at event were awesome, a lot of hard work put in. Prices at fair absolutely shocking.

Review of Northern Roots Festival

Brilliant weekend! Nothing to moan about except the weather... it was particularly cold and windy for midsummer and we were camping... could've done with a fire pit somewhere to warm up.
The venue itself is fabulous, lending itself really well to this quirky festival. With 3 or 4 stages there's constantly music to your taste to listen to, and the stages are all pretty close, which is great for not missing music whilst travelling from one place to another. The acts were all really high quality and made for a very eclectic line up. I really enjoyed Lau, Justin Currie, Rachel Sermanni, Be Charlotte, Louie and the Lochbacks, Ho Ro and The Elephant Sessions.
Festival tickets were amazing value for money, and food and drinks available were good quality and reasonably priced. The crowd and atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Definitely recommend getting yourself to Northern Roots- see you there in 2018!

Review of Northern Roots Festival

Great venue. Added bonus of not getting ripped off for drinks (as per most other festival / gigs) and great selection too. Music and atmosphere very good. Will go again!!

Review of Northern Roots Festival

Another amazing year at Bogbain although sad to see it was much quieter than the Brew at the Bog event last year.
Bins in the campsite would have been handy!

Review of Northern Roots Festival

A great selection of bands and good beer made it a very enjoyable weekend despite the gale. Worth the ticket price, just a pity that there weren't more people there to enjoy it. Rachel Sermani has become awesome and Vegan Leather as brilliant as usual. Have Mercy Las Vegas outstanding despite their early slot. Bruce deserves credit for bringing so many good acts to the stage, just a shame it isn't to a bigger audience.

Love the Suisse Barn stage - venue and bands

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

As every other year, I really enjoyed the weekend. Shame about the non-delivery of the showers In the camping area but that's not a massive issue. I also felt a bit sorry for the bands playing the Northern Roots stage this year, as they could not be heard over the bands which were playing in the Barn. The beer selection was also not the best this year and I really don't understand why the Prosecco bar does not sell by the glass - you really would sell so much more if that was the case! The bands as usual were mostly brilliant and the crowd was up for a good time. The tent selling burgers etc in the camping area was much welcomed and I am always very impressed with the cleanliness of the portaloos and the amount of times they are cleaned during the day!! A great weekend and we'll definitely be back.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

This is the most fun I have had at a festival! I had never heard of most of the bands before, however this is part of the fun for me. Discovering new music is always a joy. All the bands I saw were excellent and now have some new favourites to look out for in the future. There is a great atmosphere good drink choices and the food was delicious! I had never been before but am already looking forward to it next year! Highly recommended.

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Great fun. Beer selection was not as good as hoped (Not a fan of Innes and Gunn and there was a general lack of dark beer) but still well worth it!

A great festival weekend!

Review of Brew at the Bog 2016

Not as good as the past couple of years, little things that caused the 'mark downs'
1. No bus from Inverness to the festival although advertised on the website with tickets sold on Skiddle.
2. Where were advertised facilities and performances, showers/ comedy, cinema etc.
3. No brewdog beer? Reasonable choice in many types of booze but the change in brands would have been more acceptable if info was available.
4. Food, NO CHIPS? NO BURGERS? And only 2 of 4 food vans still had product after 6pm on Saturday.
5. NO HARDCOPY PROGRAMME WAS AVAILABLE......INFO FOR EACH STAGE WAS ON HAND WRITTEN POSTERS?
6. Sound was carrying between the stages which spoiled a number of performances..

NOW THE POSITIVES..
1. GOOD MUSIC, GOOD VARIETY OF STYLES ETC
2. TOILETS FACILITIES WERE CLEAN ETC
3. PEOPLE WERE GREAT
4. STAFF WERE VERY HELPFUL
5. ENVIROMENT FELT SAFE

CONCLUSION, WELL WORTH THE EFFORT BUT NOT AS GOOD AS PREVIOUS YEARS.
