It’s a tra­di­tion: The Bar-Stew­ard Sons of Val Doon­i­can must com­mence Sun­day’s pro­ceed­ings. This year not one, but two boats sailed out across the crowds.

There was lots to get excit­ed about on the music front: Au Pairs, GANS, Neville Sta­ple, New­dad, Lynks, The Twi­light Sad, Basht., The Wild­hearts and Garbage. All mak­ing this one of the best Beard­ed The­o­ry fes­ti­vals ever.
