This year was the first in which the headline concert was held in Lewes rather than the traditional Sussex University venue. The week held some inspirational moments in the All Saints Centre as well as at the new Pelham House Venue. The threat of rain held off for the weekend shows (if not some of the lunchtimes) and the new outdoor stage set the scene for the next year's Big Top venue.

Artists included:

Eric Bibb; Juan Falu; Bill Nelson; Debashish Bhattacharya; Adrian Legg; Daby Toure; Stuart Ryan; Geoff Robb; Steve Homes; Veronique Gillet; Passiondance; Newton Faulkner; Karl Broadie; Candela; Bellville; Mas y Mas; Angie Palmer; Andy White; Trio Gitano and the Martin Harley Band.
