The Cornbury Festival is one-of-a-kind: an eclectic and eccentric musical carnival - a dynamic summer festival disguised as a country fayre - a lovingly crafted, top notch, very English open air party, tailor-made for the whole family. Over the last 5 successful years, artists that have featured at Cornbury include: Blondie, Jools Holland, Will Young, Hot House Flowers, Elvis Costello, Joe Cocker, Amy Winehouse, Texas, The Waterboys, Deacon Blue, Robert Plant, The Pretenders, David Gray, The Proclaimers, The Feeling, Suzanne Vega, Echo & The Bunnymen, Paul Simon, Crowded House, and KT Tunstall. This year, the UK’s most beautiful boutique festival continues its eclectic musical tradition, mixing Brit nominated live maestros Scouting For Girls with the retro classic chic of Texas frontwoman Sharleen Spiteri, along with the inimitable Sugababes and proper legends The Pretenders. Other artists confirmed to play Cornbury 2009 include Joe Jackson, The Magic Numbers, Ava Leigh, Teddy Thompson, The Shortwave Set, Mary Coughlan and many more.
