The fun started on Friday evening with a free reggae concert featuring Mighty Sounds. Bands an artists taking part over the weekend included Sound Syndicate, Rockitmen and Blues Brother.

The event came to a close on Sunday with The Oh Boy Show and the Chandeliers.

Rain arrived on Saturday, but failed to spoil the fun and the event enjoyed sunny, warm weather all day on the Sunday.
