Magical Sounds must be one of the most atmospheric tents on the circuit and when Monster Ceilidh Band come out to play then all is well with the world… An absolutely stonking crowd reaction with the whole tent bouncing – this is what Bearded is all about. .. the band’s unique mix of beats underpinned by a folk backdrop was truly excellent.’
