Tinchy Stryder

A large crowd gathered in the Funkytown tent awaiting Tinchy Stryder, while the DJ warmed them up. Many teens and even younger were atop parents shoulders to see their hero.

He looked to enjoy the obvious adulation he was getting.

EMF with Utah Saints

You could argue that EMF are local heroes as the band came together in the Forest Of Dean back in the early nineties. They have created their own niche in the festival world with a lively performance of their own music and a few others borrowed from across time, they go down well. "Unbelievable" is really given an extra lift with assistance from Utah Saints on board.

The Charlatans

Tim Burgess has managed to transport us back to the nineties where he looks exactly the same, a wish we all ask for at times. They produce an incredible set of indie rock laced with those baggy beginnings and a hint of psychedelia. "Then", "Weirdo", and "North Country Boy" show their versatility over a long stretch of time. The classic's "The only one I know", "Just When You're Thinkin' Things Over" and "One to Another" were the real people pleasers.
