Ahead of Nithraid 2024, our friends at Oceanallover are looking for people to get involved with ‘The Right of the Salty Coo’. Full information below.
On Saturday the 24th of August Oceanallover and Dumfries Slow Fashion will be taking the Salty Coo for a walk through town and across the river to meet the Nithraid as it arrives at The Green.
There will be four stages on the way where we will celebrate the Salty Coo with music and dance and take photographs for Pulp Magazine.
Oceanallover is looking for people to get involved:
- Making costume for ‘The Rite of the Salty Coo’ working with Alex Rigg from Oceanallover.
- Making your own up-cycled clothing with expert help, the wearing it for a Slow Fashion photo-shoot.
- Dressing up in Oceanallover costumes to walk the Salty Coo to the river.
- Come along with us and the Coo just to be there, travelling from Mid-Steeple and over Devorgilla.
- We need a herd of children to come and make wee Coos in the morning of the 24th and then join the drove to the river.
We need:
- 4 costume-making trainees aged between 16 and 25
- 10 Models/movers to work with Dumfries Slow Fashion and Oceanallover.
- 20+ people to look fabulous and have their pictures taken in the street for the October edition of Pulp Magazine.
