MEDICINE in the modern sense is perceived to be a treatment for ailment, but in the ancient sense particularly in the minds of Native Americans, medicine is all that is good in nature connecting the spirit world with the physical. The Medicine of music can be a direct connection with all it is to be human and also our best prescription for the disconnecting-ailments of our modern culture"

 THE WONDERFULL POTTING SHED STAGE AUGUST 2011 had a vintage year, we had huge crowds and great weather

We offer an area where Festival goers can relax and socialise together, with music happening spontaneously and organically, under the supervision of Rob Ellen of The Medicine Show. We will scheduled some of the leading lights of this years Tartan Heart Fringe, the rest will be ad-hock and impromptu, among Festival artists and special guests on the day, the idea being that it become a place for some magical musical collaborations to happen spontaneously.

Hello Rob,

From the Texas Hill Country!

Just sending peaceful thoughts, musical vibes and good tidings...

Hosting the Luckenbach Picker's Circle the month of December... too bad, all these fantastic musicians from around the world can't join us!

But we'll bring the "Luckenbach Texas" song with us next year when we visit Europe again!

Much Love!
