On-stage the grass roots music line up is introduced by Britain's Got Talent semi-finalist Allan Turner-Ward with appearances from festival stalwarts Pronghorn, the rabble rousing folk rock concoction of Black Water County - now celebrating their tenth anniversary - and a rare outing for Volatile Agents, the medical marvels whose line up includes doctors, surgeons, theatre medics and a member of the judiciary.

Later in the day, festival favourites The Mother Ukers can be found at the Grooves after party in the Brickies.
