BANDSTAND: 6.25pm - 7.00pm
Dixie Ticklers

The development of jazz has to be one of the most organic and fascinating stories in music. Dom James and his Dixie Ticklers would like to provide the first chapter for you with an atomic Dixieland explosion. Combining some of the brightest young talent in the UK, with the oldest charts from New Orleans archives, their goal is to entertain with skill and charm.
Kid Ory, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton would hopefully have approved of their renditions of "Salty Dog", "I wish I could Shimmie like my sister Kate" and "Wild Man Blues". These guys are so hot, that even New Orleans enthusiast Woody Allen has a copy of their record.
CLUB RENDEZ-VOUS EARLY: 7.00pm - 8.00pm
Mandolinquents

Reels and traditional airs, hot swing and ragtime, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, Chinese and Brazilian folk melodies ... all played with infectious fun, stunning virtuosity and offbeat humour by the top quartet.

RIVERSIDE CABARET: 10.15pm - 11.15pm
The Rainer Hersch Philharmonic

The phenomenally talented stand up comedian Rainer Hersch and his very own 8 piece mini orchestra turn classical music on its head. A huge success at the Henley Festival’s 25th anniversary gala in 2007 with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Hersch returns with a full show to bring the curtain down on the 2010 Festival.
"Monty Python meets stand-up comedy via Vivaldi. Hilarious"
