Room 13 5.00pm Cold Flame One of the most exciting, energetic and original progressive rock bands performing in the north of England today. Since the band's formation in 1984, they have established themselves as one of the most hardworking bands on the circuit, touring all over the country while releasing a number of acclaimed original studio and live albums. For the last three years the band has concentrated on developing their Jethro Tull tribute show, which has received glowing praise in a number of regional and national music magazines. With the band's popularity currently at an all time high, Cold Flame are now acknowledged as the leading Jethro Tull tribute band in the north, while the band's original music continues to impress the music media as well as the audiences attracted to the band in both live performances and in studio recordings. 
9.00pm Dick Gaughan 
"One of
Britain's most innovative and contemporary voices" - The Boston Globe"How music from the gut really sounds" - The Guardian "A truly masterful performer" - Folk Roots A professional musician and singer since 1970, Dick was an early member of the Boys of the Lough and the now-legendary Scottish folk-rock band, Five Hand Reel. His songs have been recorded by, among others, Billy Bragg, Mary Black and Capercaillie. Undoubtedly one of the greats of the folk music scene with a unique and engaging musical style. 10.30pm The Curragh Sons Round off the festival with the legendary Curragh Sons! The boys have taken their brand of high energy, in your face, Irish music all over the UK and Ireland in the last few years to much acclaim. Powerful three-part harmonies are backed by intricate and exuberant fiddle playing, wrist wracking triplets on the bodhan, innovative, no-holds-barred guitar and stonking bass lines! (not to mention some of the most impressive Guinness drinking this side of Dublin!). 
12 noon - 3.00pm "The Session" Join other local musicians for an acoustic session over a pint or two. Full details to be announced. Event supported by Click Audio Visual,
