Plus The Quireboys, Mad Dog Mcrea, The Correspondents, Peatbog Faeries, Los Pacaminos featuring Paul Young, Estonian sensation Trad.Attack, the London African Gospel Choir, Molotov Jukebox, BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winners The Young Uns and The Eskies to name a few.

Committed to showcasing women in music, soul songstress PP Arnold, critically acclaimed Gwenno, country star Jill Jackson and Ivor Novello nominee Charlie Dore, also join the line-up alongside a whole host of female performers.  Whilst the festival’s resident BBC Music Introducing Stage, in partnership with BBC Radio Cornwall shines a light on the very best emerging talent from region.
