Hazlehead Park Concert


Information about Free 2007 the Northsound Radio free concert held at the Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen:


On Sunday 2 September 2007 Northsound Radio will be entertaining its Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire audiences and the people of Scotland with a free open air Hazlehead Park Concert called Free 2007.

These free concerts organised by Northsound Radio take place every other year and were previously called Free at the Dee and held at the Duthie Park, Aberdeen City. The concert was moved to Hazlehead Park for 2007 after discussion with Grampian Police and Aberdeen City Council to allow greater crowd numbers and allocation of tickets. Previous concerts saw over 30,000 visitors. With a bigger venue at Hazlehead Park it is hoped that Northsoundradio Free2007 wil attract more people with a greater free ticket distribution.

My new novel:

The Fence Aberdeen Zombie post apocalyptic military survival Novel Book

The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

Aberdeen Lynne Golden Retriever

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.

We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.

The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:

"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."

Craig and Brian, the MacDonald Brothers are regular visitors to Aberdeenshire having played a gig at Fraserburgh and at the new Wizard Festival at New Deer within the last few weeks and soon appearing at the Lemon Tree in Aberdeen City centre.

McFly make a welcome return to Aberdeen having played several concerts in the city over the years including the Music Hall and the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC). They were to play at Free At The Dee 2005 but had to pull out at the last minute due to other work commitments. They did not like to disappoint their North East of Scotland fans so McFly made time to play live at Free 2007 just before their Greatest Hits Tour throughout the UK.

Local group Outbox were also due to play a free concert but were unable too through no fault of their own. Earlier in the year they were to play Live at the Lawn at Crathes Castle as the support group for Sugababes. Sadly the Sugababes had to cancel because of illness. However Outbox can now entertain existing and reach new fans throughout Grampian with Free 2007 at Hazlehead Park.

X Factor winner Shayne Ward last played in Aberdeen in 2006 during his UK tour after winning the X Factor in 2005. During Free At The Dee 2005 another X Factor singer, Rowetta, entertained North East fans.

Scottish singer Amy MacDonald had recently sang at the Belladrum Festival in Inverness and at The Tunnels in Aberdeen. She returns to Aberdeen in the autumn to perform at the Lemon Tree.

Northsound Radio have been holding a free concert in Aberdeen venues since 2002. The free concerts by Northsound Radio were started to mark the 21st birthday anniversary of Northsoundradio. The free Northsound Radio concerts are now held every other year. Free2007 was the largest Scottish outdoor free party held in Scotland. It is timed to run in conjunction with the biannual Offshore Europe Oil Exhibition and the Offshore Europe week and Energy Festival.

The free Northsound concerts have a reputation in the music industry of highlighting the sounds and music of up and coming pop groups and singers. Free 2007 carries on this tradition with Scottish singer songwriter Esther O'Connor who comes from Glasgow and is the daughter of Wet Wet Wet guitarist Graeme Duffin.
