After last year’s huge sell-out success Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra will return to the Festival to play on Friday 18th May with a Special Guest yet to be announced. Tickets for last year’s concert with Sandi Shaw sold like hot cakes so the organisers are delighted that more people will have the chance to see him this time around. Former Squeeze musician Jools Holland is the most popular pianist and bandleader in the United Kingdom, and the man chosen by The Beatles to conduct the interviews for their award-winning Anthology television series.

Support band - The Big Figure is a band arranged around a duo. The writing partnership in question are Sam West & Calum McCann, two schoolfriends from the southside of Glasgow who have spent the last few years touring and travelling the world writing and performing music together in many different projects. The latest offering is their debut album 'Laugh Like Clowns' under the name 'The Big Figure' was written, recorded and produced by the duo and mixed by legendary producer Calum Malcolm (Blue Nile)
