Friday 8th June, Marquee
Concert with PHIL BEER, supported by local duo GREG MCDONALD & GEMMA GAYNER and our own LYNDSEY RULE

Saturday 9th June, Marquee

Sunday 10th June:
The traditional Sunday afternoon comedy spot is taken by the man who started the tradition - the inimitable DOUG HUDSON

And bringing things to a rousing finale, we have HOT RATS.

We hope you will be able to join us.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Keith and Lyndsey who have put this fantastic line-up together and are working hard behind the scenes, and also to all those who have offered their help in running the festival. Without this support, it just wouldn't be happening this year.

Sue Rule
