Mela 2010

The Glasgow Mela of 2010 seemed less busy for some reason - not sure why, was brilliant day and everyone was having good time, as at the preceding West End Festival. For the 2008 Mela, see

No need for much security at the Mela; as discussed at Mela 2008 (see link above)  the event is quietly but very effectively policed by Strathclyde Police. Nae neds here.
