Last year was the frist time i was able to go the games at stone mountain.My wife and i both loved it. The highlight of the day was when we won the best clan tent, this meant so much to all of us. Tom Cochran NWGC, for clan Cochran in the USA.
Move some of the Celtic music acts to the main field for more exposure.

As much as I enjoy renewing friendships with Henri’s Notions and Smithfield Fair, there are a lot of other good groups out there that could bring lots of people into the festival. I’m thinking Emerald Rose (which, in 10 years has gone from being local to being on international TV), the re-formed Clandestine (which used to come), just as two suggestions.

Thanks Michael, great suggestions to add to our list.
Jim Malcolm! Google him and visit his website. He’s also on You Tube. We 1st saw him at the Grandfather Mountain Highland games in 2008 — then we were fortunate enough to go to his concert in Athens, GA this past November. During the 2nd half of his performance he dressed and performed as Robert Burns. It was silly and fun, but the best part of the evening was his voice and music, which are quite mesmerizing! Jim lives in Scotland, but he’s often over here in the States — so if he is available, having him at the Stone Mountain Highland Games would be INCREDIBLY awesome!

You may want to consider Steve Reel. Check YouTube. They also have a CD titled “Celtic Knights.” While not heavy metal by any stretch, this fairly large group adds a more updated sound to many Celtic favorites (”Scotland the Brave”, “Jiggy Little Elves”, etc). Email me for a sampling.
