Jonathan Wilson, Crawdaddy:

This is what Sundays at Electric Picnic were made for (as well as the now traditional early doors gospel and reggae acts on the main stage).

Laurel Canyon revivalist Jonathon Wilson brings a touch of hazy Southern Californian folk to Stradbally and the vibes are delicious.

Vibes is a much abused word ­ we're guilty as charged this weekend, as you can tell from data-mining our reviews ­ but it's a term which suits North Carolina native Wilson, his band of long-hairs and the beautiful freak scene evoked by these songs to a T.

Songs from the glorious Gentle Spirit album worked their magic on those in the tent ­ but they probably sounded even better to those lolling in the sun outside .

Verdict: ****
