Joining Idlewild at this small intimate festival which is geared towards entertaining the local community will be Turin Brakes, The Bad Shepherds featuring comedian Adrian Edmondson, local favourites The Vatersay Boys, and Silver Columns the new project of Johnny Lynch, better know as Pictish Trail and keyboard player in the Fence Collective.
