Wickerman Festival on Facebook. Performance times We have no details of upcoming performances, if you do please let us know. The audience became less alternative and more mainstream. But it attracted some great names to the Summerisle Stage. There were also some great moments in the Scooter Tent which kept alive Wickerman's punk and ska roots. The Undertones and Bad Manners spring to mind. I lost count of the times over the years I would survey the site and the main stage acts and think how surreal it was that these musical superstars had come to perform in the corner of a farmer's field overlooking Dundrennan and the Solway Firth.
Most of them probably hadn't really a clue where they were! But Wickerman was about more than the big names. Its many venues, and especially the acoustic village, gave a platform for up and coming talent much of it home grown in Dumfries and Galloway. They will miss that showcase.
I was among those who wondered if the festival could possibly take place barely six months after Jamie Gilroy's untimely death, even though tickets had been sold and many of the acts booked. But Jamie's wife Patsy and their daughter Jennie Camm herself in recovery from breast cancer at the time took it upon themselves to make sure it did and they staged it in Jamie's honour with dignity and pride.
I can't really imagine how hard that must have been. After taking a year out in , they had pledged to bring Wickerman back next year and sought a third-party promoter to take it on. But negotiations broke down and at the weekend Jennie and Patsy took the hard but inevitable decision that the festival must close. It was great while it lasted.
