Another Great Big Weekend

Thanks to everyone who attended Big in Falkirk on Saturday 3 & Sunday 4 May to help make it the best yet in the festival's 9-year history. We hope you enjoyed it as much we did!

Despite the threat of heavy showers, both days saw sunshine which resulted in large numbers throughout the entire site. Nutkhut's vibrant Bollywood Steps, performed on custom-built steps leading up to the back of Callendar House, received rapturous applause with its sexy take on the Bollywood films courtesy of spectacular dance routines including the infamous wet-sari scene. The World Premiere of The World Famous' Full Circle closed the Festival in style with four stunning lakeside pods in which cult Slovenian band Terrafolk performed, accompanied by dazzling fireworks, fire and special-effects.

Big in Falkirk presented over 100 free performances across two days. France's anarchic Cacahuète drew gasps of delight and surprise with Mama's Funeral and Rock Stars. Mama's Funeral, a no-holds barred black comedy in which audience members follow a funeral procession throughout Callendar Park, finished with the coffin ending up in a swan-shaped pedalo on the lake.

On the Music Stage, on Saturday, The Complete Stone Roses attracted a large crowd, sending them back to the height of Madchester with their sing-along anthems before the Levellers performed a flawless set with a lengthy encore to an enthusiastic audience. Earlier in the day, winners of Making It, Hungry Ghosts won a legion of new fans with their exciting rock sound. On Sunday, the Stage played host to a similarly diverse line-up which included The Hazey Janes, Day of Days and Peatbog Faeries before the legendary 10cc closed it with a string of hits including Rubber Bullets and I'm Not in Love.

Bin Falkirk will return for its 10th anniversary in 2009. Watch out for further details nearer the time so that you don't miss out on what is sure to be a Big celebration!
