Festival review: Doune the Rabbit Hole

ALTHOUGH everyone muddled through in 2017, there’s a general acceptance that last year’s edition of the Doune the Rabbit Hole music festival – a boutique event with much goodwill behind it and a strong reputation for putting on a variety of quality artists – had been something of a washout, both literally and metaphorically. While irritating, drizzly rain was a factor in dampening spirits, an element of poor organisation, with some bands not appearing, had also contributed.
