Country music and Hollywood legend headlines Sunday night

We were privileged to have US Country music legend, Kris Kristofferson, performing on the last night of the Festival.

In his only UK outdoor Festival, the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter played songs from his latest album, Closer to the Bone, as well as classic hits such as Me and Bobby McGee and Sunday Morning Coming Down.

The audience swayed and sung along in celebration of another successful Festival nearing it's end with true star on stage to mark the occasion.

The final podcast of the Festival

On the final podcast of 2010 we talk to Carolina Chocolate Drops, C.W. Stoneking, Ian Smith from Creative Scotland as well as the rather fantastic Jolly Boys.

The (Stone)King of hokum blues!

There are many special acts at this year's, but what a special one C.W. Stoneking is! His deep and rich vocals and southern drawl captivate the audience on stage 2 as the Festival gets close to the finishing line.

C.W (which stands for Christopher William) is dressed in a white shirt and trousers with a red bow tie which, with his dulcet tones, gives a complete element of cool to his performance and takes you back to the 50s where you can imagine his music being played.

For those eagled-eyed people in the audience, you would be able to see he has tattoo on his hand saying 'Atticus' and 'Ishmael', which are indeed the names of his sons named after characters in To Kill A Mockingbird and Moby Dick.

How did they get in?

Taking the bringing chairs into the arena debate to whole new level.

Clearing clouds...

Despite a little bit of drizzle we havn't had too much need for these this weekend...

And the clouds seem to be making way for blue skies, just in time for Kris Kristofferson. Yey!

Rocking Rokia

Groundbreaking Malian artist Rokia Traore's thrilling set gave a distinctive opening to the final evening of the festival. Stunning Rokia introduced her performance by inviting her audience to 'enjoy musical moments together', and as she began with a haunting, atmospheric vibe, over which her incredible voice sparkled, it was clear that that was exactly what was in store.

Gradually shifting into a rapid, rolling pace, Rokia rocked out barefoot on stage to a sound which was completely her own - a mix of traditional Malian and many other musical styles.
