Headliners this year are multi award winners Show of Hands and guests (Saturday, May 5) and Cara Dillon and guests (“one of the best Irish female singers of all time”) on the Sunday with Monday’s Bank Holiday headliners still under wraps. Scotland’s Karine Polwart, who recently made a return to the live scene, will also be bringing her huge songwriting talent to the festival, appearing with her trio.
