Silly Moos campsite in Lezayre was invaded over the weekend by swarms of jellyfish, shoals of mermaids, an over-dressed fisherman and the occasional shark.

Also, if you looked closely enough, you might have also seen pirates, cowboys and native Americans around the site too.

The fancy dress day of the Dark Horse festival brought out the creative side of most who were there and, along with the excellent range of music provided by UK bands The Mouse Outfit, B.O.M.B.S, The Baltic States and Little Thief, the festival field was awash with brightly coloured costumes, flamboyant characters and extravagant head gear.

There was also four stages providing food, holistic therapy and music, including the bands Baad Acid, 13th Pillar, The Ballaghs, Phil Reynolds and the Dearly Departed and many of the bands from the Soundcheck youth project.
