wEsrsno FESTIVAL 2006
‘On 11th June the West End will be jumping. from Byres Road to Kelvmgrove Park.‘ proclaims Festival Director Michael Dale. Now in its 10th year. for many people the Opening Parade is the festival. but. as Dale is quick to point out. there are more than 350 other events spread across the fortnight. These include ‘The Life of Jesus Christ'. an outdoor theatre production taking place in Kelvingrove Park and featuring a cast of 60, including real animals. This fits with the strategy of putting culture on the public stage. while making use of the line range of outdoor venues in the West End. There's also a big musical programme with a focus on Oran Mor. which opened on the first day of the festival two years ago. and is now central to the festival. its highlights
including Martin Taylor and Eddi Reader.
But first. there‘s that opening party to attend. Dale has long been influenced by the Notting Hill Carnival, and he‘s aiming to lure some of those very performers and their fantastic costumes up north for this year's event. Samba Ya Bamba are also onboard. in a quest to get the best street bands from Britain and beyond. With the Mela being brought forward this year and staged simultaneously in Kelvingrove Park, it provides a natural conclusion to the parade. the two events converging with a mass display of drumming as
120 people hit the stage.
Dale reckons his personal triumphs from the last decade are 2004‘s Belle and Sebastian gig in the Botanics. plus the Council finally agreeing to the closure of Byres Road. ‘It wasn‘t until 2000 that I was allowed to close the street and even then it was only half of it,‘ he says. “Because this is the 10th anniversary we‘re going to close it entirely. from Great Western Road to Dumbarton Road.‘ He's rightly proud of his baby. and after 10 successful years at the helm, is still hungry to expand. ‘What appeals to me are the constant possibilities of these unique buildings and situations. I like the idea of developing events that have a sense of place and I want to make it
something the West End can sustain a
