Artistes for 2010 are currently being vetted, inoculated and oiled up for a fantastic June shebang. We'll keep you updated with this years programme as it develops - not that it really matters whether Shirley Bassey says yes or no - because you all know we'll put on a great weekend for you anyways.
In the meantime, why don't you put the kettle on, crack open a packet of biscakes and a little reminiscance reminissance look back at last years lovely parade of artists.
