Would you like 25 tickets?

Or 50 even? There are still some opportunities available to sponsor performers at this year's festival. Apart from all the publicity you get for your business, you do also receive a ganseyload of admission tickets depending on which sponsorship package you choose.

These positions will not remain open for long. In the meantime a big thank you to Loan Officer Mike O'Neill of North American Savings Bank for sponsoring Enter The Haggis. And another big Thank You to Kansas City Southern for sponsoring The Elders.

You don't have to be a business to sponsor a band. If you simply want to make a lot of friends - this could be the way to do it.

Note: 'gansey' is the anglicized form of the Gaelic word for sweater (properly geansaí), and lends its term to the improvised load-carying abilities of such garments as (while wearing them) you wrap them around the apples you stole from the orchard. Ganseyload therefore means 'a lot'. Stealing apples is, however, wrong.
