Calling his job a huge privilege, Kashmir Cafe talent booker, Doug Alldred, said: "This year we have acts from Canada and the Netherlands alongside UK and Island bands.

"There’s nothing quite like Kashmir Cafe anywhere else on the festival circuit.

"We’re so grateful to [Isle of Wight Festival boss] John Giddings for giving us the opportunity to do what we do and put on great music you might not have heard of yet, but you’re sure to love when you see it."
