An annual pilgrimage to the past, with the stars of ‘yesteryear’ bringing back great memories with their music – hits & giggles.

This year’s headliners, the much maligned but mighty ‘Quo’, provided a masterclass in rock; owning the arena and exiting on a luxury tour bus before the applause had died-down down (deeper and down).
