Above the beaten track Following the runaway success of last year’s inaugural event, the Above The Beaten Track festival team have beavering away to make this year even more special, whilst maintaining their ethos of championing all things alternative, marginal and local; on all three floors of the gallery space. On the 22nd August the View Two Gallery on Mathew Street opens its doors for this return.

Music will be provided by a horde of local talent, treating us to the finest of blues, folk and acoustic tinged rock – we’ll be joined by the likes of Ragz, Dead Cities, Marc Sunderland (Peter and the Wolf), Dave Owen, Atlantic Massey, Letters in Red and many more, with Beaten Tracks DJs Richie Vegas, Musica del Alma & Monkey filling in the gaps.  We have been told there may be a few special guests making an appearance too...

Like any self respecting festival, it’s about more than the music – there will also be birthday celebrations for CulturePool, plus local live art collective Draw The Line who will be producing a range of art throughout the day, including a live mural – so bring your pens and get involved.  TV Lux, Tom George and Canvas will all be hosting events downstairs throughout the day too – there will be film screenings, live AV exhibitions and all kinds of other lovely stuff.
 
There will be food and drink on the night too – sandwiches and cakes to keep your stomach as nourished as your soul.
