This year’s Westfest got off to a flying start as Big Sunday hit Dundee’s Magdalen Green.
Now in its fourth year, Dundee’s biggest live music festival featured 11 acts including Courtney’s Chain, Room 7 who won the Westfest Battle of the Bands and Buffalo Soldiers.
Festival goers were kept entertained throughout the day by the bands and a variety of stalls including that of local woman Christina Gibson.
The Dundee Relay for Life fundraiser bravely shaved her head in the afternoon to raise money for Cancer Research UK and to drum up more volunteers to take part in this year’s overnight relay where participants complete laps of Caird Park Stadium.
The sun may not have been shining as strongly as on Saturday but Westfest chairwoman Paola McClure was delighted with the turnout.Photo gallery: Big Sunday at WestfestShe said: “It’s going really well. Although it’s not sunny there’s no rain and it’s actually quite warm.”
She encouraged people to take advantage of the wide range of activities running throughout the week.
“One of the things which is a great thing is the workshops by street poet Kevin McCabe.
“Poetry has changed his life and I would really like people to take the opportunity to attend the workshops,” she said.
Other highlights of the week’s festivities include a talk by Caroline Wilkinson and Janice Aitken about their work and how they recreated the face of Richard III and film screenings at the Generator Project, which is taking part in its first ever Westfest.
