Day 3 opened with the delightful Robbert Duif’s acoustic set on the Forest Stage, followed on the Main Stage firstly by Joe Rusi’s early, too short set, and then Marco Bartoccioni, who was vibrant and fun. Next up was Louisiana Blues master Robert Finley, and then finally the headliner's and award winning US Blues Rock combo, Blood Brothers, featuring powerhouse guitarists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia .

Tonight's proceedings continued with the unique Gary Moore Legacy Concert. At the helm was lead vocalist and European Empress of the Blues, Kaz Hawkins, with a truly international band lineup comprising band leader Adrian Tedrade on drums, Raul Kusak on keys and Hammond organ, as well as Alex Cismaru on guitars and vocals, and Alin Neagoe on bass.

This band were the bedrock of the evening, enabling Australian guitarist Louis King McGovern, as well as the UK’s finest guitar warriors Ben Poole and Danny Bryant to excel. Jack Moore, Gary’s son also impressed on stage, as the spirit of his father shone through, not only by playing his classics, but also Jack's tremendous guitar solos, as well as a few of Jack and Kaz's own compositions, which moved of all those lucky enough to witness it. An incredible, memorable and unique Day 3 masterpiece closer.
