ACCLAIMED Irvine songstress Eddi Reader wowed the crowds with an inspiring set an the opening Rewind at Scone Palace, showing her enduring talent three decades after exploding on to the scene.

The Fairground Attraction singer opened with Patience of Angels before delivering a stirring version of number one hit, Perfect. Eddi concluded with Find My Love, dedicated to her son, with whom she was pregnant at the time of writing.

The American President “that half Scottish eejit Trump” was also scolded by the hugely versatile singer in the build-up to the song.

Irvine was also represented at the festival by comedian Billy Kirkwood, who performed a hilarious show at Rewind.

Hipsway lead singer Grahame Skinner was making his second appearance at Rewind on the Saturday.

He said: “It’s the best job in the world. We were invited to play in the tent on the Friday night last year and we love the venue.”

Hipsway will play Sound on the Sand at Ardrossan South Beach on Saturday, their second successive appearance in the town.

The Primitives also were a standout early on the Saturday bill and singer Paul Court enjoyed the vibes. Classic ones including Crash and Stop Killing me featured.

He said: “We don’t often get to play these festivals in the UK so it’s good for us to be able to do one in Scotland.”

Punk heroes the Undertones delivered a raucous set including Jimmy, Jimmy and Teenage Kicks.

Saturday night saw Love of The Common People singer Paul Young on fine form.

Enduring Scots singer Lulu delivered a career-spanning show including To Sir With Love, Bond theme the Man With The Golden Gun, Shout and Somebody You Loved, the Lewis Capaldi hit.

ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again had everyone up on their feet.

However the show was stolen in the evening by final two acts. The Stranglers excelled with spellbinding versions of Five Minutes, No More Heroes, Golden Brown and Always the Sun.
