Saturday saw The SKAlectrics, from North Oxfordshire, topping the bill on the main stage, belting out those well-known two-tone and Trojan tunes to great approval from the highly animated mosh-pit.
The acoustic stage captivated the crowd with an exquisitely eclectic range of music, culminating in delightful tunes from ‘The lost Notes’.
The festival also offered music workshops such as the “Uke-Can” Rock 'n Roll workshop where a member of the Jigantics band taught people the basics of how to play the ukulele.

Clive Rickman, the festival's coordinator, said: “KMF depends on the support of generous sponsors, the good will of talented performers - many of whom play solely for travelling expenses - and scores of enthusiastic volunteers. We are grateful to them all.”
