We managed to catch up with Hollie before she clocked off for the evening, she said: “It’s been an amazingly chilled day, we’ve had so much fun and met some great artists. Other artists have been coming out to show support and the sun has shined on us all.
My highlight has been Breabach and Jamie Cullum so far but I know Nigel Kennedy was fantastic. It’s great to see music lovers of Perth come together for a day of alternative music”
