Our climax act of the first day at Belladrum 2011 - Rob Ellen says
"On a weekend that does seem to have a strong nostalgic pull, personally I am delighted to host and welcome, two of my favourite all time musicians Champion Doug Veitch and Rise Kagona. The Doug Veitch self styled Cajun king of Caledonian swing of my youth, introduced me through his numerous John Peel Sessions to a world of exotic styles of roots music forms in one glorious band, he is a true pioneer of the genre that went on to be called "World Music". It was he who first went to Zimbabwe and discovered The Bhundu Boys took them to The UK, released their first album, resulting in the gates of African music opening to the other continents of the globe, and the rest is now music history. Rise Kagona is a founder of said African giants and a Guitar Hero, who's style of playing founded a whole genre "Harare Jit" now living in Scotland and playing with his old friend in this extra-ordinary combo.
"Harare Jit meets Scottish Jig"
