TIREE MUSIC FESTIVAL www.tireemusicfestival.co.uk For years, Tiree local and musician with the band Skerryvore Daniel Gillespie found himself performing at festivals around the world thinking how great it would be to have a similar event back home. Until one day, he and fellow Tiree local Stewart MacLennan decided to create exactly that. That was back in 2010. TMF has grown in capacity each year until 2016 where the event reached the target max capacity of 2000 – a number that will not increase so that TMF can remain what makes it so special. Small and intimate. TMF will be back next year on July 9-11.
