On Saturday morning, the Julie Ross Dancers took to the centre of City Square for a flash-mob performance of ‘Born to Hand Jive’ from the 1978 cult-classic Grease. “The atmosphere was upbeat and fun with a crowd not seen in quite a while in that space,” said organiser John Logan. “On Sunday, the Harbourside Markets were very busy from 9am all day. “This year, we’ve had a great response and the events seemed to really gel with locals and visitors. “We spoke to a lot of people and many of them came for stays of two to five or six days.” Plans are already underway for next year’s event to be held in March/April.
