Boy George sang Culture Club songs including Karma Chameleon and Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? as well as solo material and new tracks, while Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up and Together Forever were also crowd favourites.

Kim Wilde and Belinda Carlisle also belted out their hits, with the latter singing tracks such as Heaven Is A Place On Earth and Circle In The Sand.

Cutting Crew opened the show with their most famous song - I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight - while The Real Thing performed the classic You To Me Are Everything and Ben from Curiosity Killed The Cat sang Name and Number.

The night started with a surprise - comedy dance act Stavros Flatley gave an unadvertised performance. They had also been on stage earlier for the Britain's Got Talent meets X Factor show.

It was a wonderful weekend of entertainment with current popstars such as JLS and The Saturdays performing at the same festival as 80s stars such as Spandau Ballet, Boy George and Rick Astley.

The festival has attracted coverage off the Island and local bands had the chance to shine too, appearing on Saturday afternoon. There is no doubt the temporary marquee in the grounds of Noble's Park is an impressive structure and promoter Jonathan Irving asked the crowd whether they wanted the festival to be held again.

Unsurprisingly he received a positive response, but he also had a swipe at the government saying he would have liked to have thanked them but they had done 'everything they could to undermine this'.

As festival-goers left the site, they were no doubt thinking who they would like to see next year.
