Wow!!! Ali Finneran and Sloe Jam were truly stunning in the sunshine. Mark Abis mesmerised the crowd in his melancholic splendour before Ethemia hit all the right notes and Corky had us riveted with his original lyrics from the West Country before the headliners......The British Invasion was AWESOME! The Beatles! The Kinks! Pink Floyd performed the entire Dark Side of the Moon!! Tiggy was spectacular!! The Great Gig in the Sky showed Tiggy at her finest!!! The laser show was intense!!

A great day full of music! Firstly, Stone Donkey Pilot started the day with what can only be described as the perfect way to wake up.... Blues at its best! Later in the day Benji Clements put the crowd into a spin with his rendition of old classics as only Benji can - Sublime!!! Then came Dylan Qioniwasa - Ok, his ex GF really hacked him off but the music generated from such trauma should be heard by everyone. Dylan's voice is to be heard to be believed! He is incredible!! What can I say about The Black Feathers.... They had the crowd completely transfixed, their harmonies are heavenly!!
