Gullane Beer Festival 2005

For a couple of years, Q had been suggesting to Deep Throat (Or DT might prefer to think of Q hassling him) that he run a beer festival in Gullane, since The Old Clubhouse is known for great beer and is even in the Good Beer Guide (A CAMRA book).

Anyway, Deep Throat eventually caved in and the "East Lothian Cask Ale Festival" as he named it was born. We had KIDDA members from all over the world descend upon Gullane for this event. Q even persuaded a few of his workmates to visit for the Friday afternoon (Ali was a tad rough the morning after though). Or very own Mulder and his band Jura were playing on the Friday and Saturday nights.

In attendance were Bigsmak (or at least his brother Steven wearing Bigsmak's shirt), Clinton, Dancin' Queen, Deep Throat, Easy, Eddie, Gouranga, Lewinsky, Mistress, Mulder, Munchkin, Puppieees, Q (and his workmates Ali, Bobby & Jon), Rider (and his burd Kiera), Saint, Shucks (and his burd Pam & her son Michael), Tease and Wilko.

This is what we're talking about ... 53 casks of real ale just sitting there waiting to be drunk.
Jura (Mulder, Mark on drums and Kevin on bass)  are the first band of the night (so they can then get drunk after).

Eddie likes his pies ... Jon just looks hungry!
Here's Bobby (or Booaaabbby as Q calls him at work) with Saint's hat on - it got passed around a bit!

Wilko and Ali think each other are losers!
Munchkin and [disguised] Bigsmak (aka Steven) with a couple of Munchkin's mates. One looks a bit shocked!

Well Eddie seams to make a tradition of bearing his ar$e for the camera, however ... this was a bit too public a venue for that. So ... here's one Saint prepared earlier!
