We already have the legendary Ray Davies, musical institution Jools Holland and Irish acts both young (Imelda May, Royseven, The Minutes) and seasoned (The Dubliners, Undertones) confirmed.
Now, we have a second strong wave. The Chieftains, celtic rockers Horslips, Soft Cell singer Marc Almond as special guest to Jools, and Beth Orton will all play.
