Review: The Family Stone, Main Stage

Atmosphere: Buzzing, sunny, happy.

Atmosphere: Buzzing, sunny, happy.

High: The crowd was small when the band took to the stage but just three songs in, they were playing before thousands of happy people lured to the main arena by their infectious brand of high energy funk.

It's A Family Affair, Dance to the Music and a whole host of other instantly recognisable and singalong tunes played by genuine legends saw people dancing happily through the sunniest part of the evening.

Low: The sight of The Irish Times dancing badly in the wings, probably.

Quote: This festival is like the original Woodstock. We love it here.
