At the other end of the scale, the main stages — Cambridge has two — offered a wickedly high-quality line-up. Guy Clark's Texan wit and wisdom, simultaneously solid and whimsical; Capercaillie's satisfying meanderings between the sort of music they played before they got involved in Rob Roy and the Clannad-tinged electric sound they've played since; Tim and Mollie O'Brien's folksy-country-bluesy-gospelly set (the sort of crossover stuff Ry Cooder patented a few years back); these were the highlights before Costello made his way into the spotlight with a crack or two about Cambridge and its KGB links of days gone by. | At the other end of the scale, the main stages — Cambridge has two — offered a wickedly high-quality line-up.

Elvis played without the Attractions, but not without attraction, throwing in some new (ie unrecognised) numbers among acoustic versions of old favourites ("[[Alison]]", "[[New Amsterdam]]"). The irony was that the start of the archrocker's man-and-his-guitar set was, for those at the back, drowned out by Sharon Shannon and her band, playing trad Irish stuff with brilliant abandon on Stage Two. "Veteran Rocker Blown off Stage by Irish Accordionist", the headlines should have read; or, for short, "Revenge of the Folkies" | Elvis played without the Attractions, but not without attraction, throwing in some new (ie unrecognised) numbers among acoustic versions of old favourites ("[[Alison]]", "[[New Amsterdam]]").
