POP: FESTIVAL OF THE WEEK

Guildford Live 99

Starting from humble beginnings in 1992 (when local Morris Dancers were high up the bill), Guildford has grown into a respectable if quirky event thanks to great facilities and an atmosphere that suits both families and festie heads. Jools Holland headlines Friday while the Saw Doctors and Shane MacGowan lend a Celtic vibe to Sunday. However Saturday is the highpoint with a line-up over the three stages that includes James, Kristin Hersh, Afro Celt Sound System and Donovan.

Stoke Park, Guildford (01483 454159) Fri to 25 Jul, weekend tickets pounds 52, day passes pounds 18-pounds 27
