Fancy a spot of shopping?

There's plenty to buy around the Festival if you fancy a spot of shopping...

 

Hats off to yer!

Some of you may know that this year, Sunday is the first ever hat day and so many people been creative! Although, we have spotted a couple of Jester's hats around!

Here is a few of the hat's created - check out how much effort went in to these. Let's hope we can do something similar again next year.

The winner was picked by Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie (pictured above with Stuart) and she made her hat out of melted records! I wonder how heavy her hat is?

Highland adventure - Latin style!

The Latin-Celtic storm stirred up on Stage 1 by Salsa Celtica was enough to blow away the rain! With their extraordinary mix of celtic folk and latin music, arrangements of brass, bagpipes, strings and stunning vocals were blended with flair and imagination, the sound of two contrasting genres in effortless harmony.

The high energy performance gave us all a boost - and seemed to keep the clouds at bay as the afternoon party got going.

Ukelele orchestra did it again!

There was smiles all around as possibly the most surprising interpretations were performed with trademark charisma and skill by the wonderful Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain. This afternoon's diverse repertoire included Britney Spears' 'Ooops! I did it again' and 'Anarchy in the UK' by the Sex Pistols, as well as a gorgeous version of he Beatles' 'Hey Jude'. The tuxedo-clad group delivered their set in hugely entertaining style, closing the afternoon programme.
