HARBOUR SHIPS
| Several re-enactment groups provided some historical action over the two days. The Earl of Loudon's Regiment dressed as pirates and fired a real cannon at the Zebu from the Sugar Tongue and later attacked it with a mock pirate galleon. The Zebu was defended by the Historic Maritime Society which returned fire. The explosions echoed out across the harbour and were quite deafening. |
| Bill Baileys jazz quintet not only supported Kenny Ball but performed around the harbourside thoroughout the festival causing people to stop and tap their feet. |
| A separate stage was set up on the South Beach area to allow many local rock groups to play to a huge audience. These included the Solway Delta Blues band who performed some great songs featuring superb solos from John Dugan on guitar. |
| During the festival a host of street theatre performers entertained the festival. These included a magician, morris dancers and a juggler - shown below. |
| The fun fair this year was huge covering the whole south beach area with several large rides designed to turn people upside down and inside out. |
