To celebrate Fife’s Year of Culture, the featured musical acts have very strong Fife connections, the legend Kenny Anderson aka King Creosote will headline.
Kenny has released over forty albums and is the founder of Fence Records, Fife’s best-known record label and hugely successful musical collective. He recently won the Ticketmaster singer-songwriter of the year award at The Tartan Clefs.
Second Hand Marching Band has 16–22 members, formed in 2007. They play folk music influenced by dance, pop and post-rock. They also play a host of instruments.
Also on the bill is Das Contras, a six-piece pop, soul, folk and Latin band and winners of the 2006 PRS New Music Award. The Fife grown, Glasgow based band began as a duo and has grown into a six piece ensemble. To be announced at a later date are some local up and coming acoustic acts.
Paul Bush OBE, Chief Operating Officer at EventScotland, the national events agency, said: 'Big Tent is an outstanding example to Scotland’s events industry and an unrivalled platform on which to showcase local Scottish talent.
As part of Fife Year of Culture, this event will play a key role in 2010 to highlight the region’s cultural strengths and ambitions. We look forward to what is sure to be yet another fantastic festival.'
