== History ==
The Festival is largely the result of the work of Neil McKenna and his wife Shelia, the director of the festival. When describing his reasons for wanting a music festival in Darvel, Neil McKenna said, "We moved to Darvel 13 years ago. In 2002 it was Darvel's 250th anniversary, and I managed a series of events. After getting involved in the community stuff, I wanted to focus on a central theme, which was essentially making Darvel a music town. It's already known for its lace and weaving, and Alexander Fleming, but we would love to make it the first-ever music town in Scotland."〔 While they didn’t actually launch the festival, the McKennas have been very involved in the process, and are known to personally pick up artists from the airport, cook for them, and to let bands stay overnight in their home.〔 Since its formation seven years ago, the festival has managed to get well-known bands to play, and attracts people from all over the world. In order to attract people to the event, bands are asked not to play in Glasgow or anywhere else in the west of Scotland around the time of the festival.〔 Over the past few years people from such locations as Japan, Canada, Italy, Spain, Ireland, France, and Germany have come to the festival as it has gained notoriety. The local economy of Darvel has prospered because of this increase in visitors to the area.〔
