Tomorrow (Saturday) sees Scottish groups Aberfeldy, The Hazey Janes and The Recovery Club take to the stage at the Corn Exchange.

Hailed as one of the gems of the Scottish music scene, Edinburgh based Aberfeldy bring their infectious, upbeat pop to Cupar having cemented their position as favourites of the live scene.

The Hazey Janes offer a rich fusion of folk, country rock and American power-pop, while Glasgow five-piece The Recovery Club cite The Arcade Fire as one of their main influences.

A short film called 'Guitar Heroes' will be showing at the venue before the bands perform, with doors opening at 7.30 p.m.

Folk songwriters Mike Heron and Nicola Black will provide a fitting finale to the festival's varied music programme with their double bill at Elmwood College on Sunday.

Mike, who will be performing with his daughter Georgia, was a founding member of influential 60s psychadelic group The Incredible String Band.
Nicola is a composer, singer, pianist and guitarist with a background in a capella singing. Doors for this concert open at 7.30 p.m.

Elsewhere, local performance poet Milton Balgoni comperes Sunday evening's 'Poetry Slam' at The Silo on Cupar Trading Estate from 7 p.m.

Part of a larger festival closing event, the slam will feature a number of poets battling it out for points awarded by a panel of judges selected from the audience.

Book lovers will have the chance to learn how to repair their worn-out old tomes at St Columba's School on North Union Street tomorrow.

Jill Saunderson, a bookbinder at St Andrews University for 20 years, hosts the workshop, which will begin at 10 a.m.

Meanwhile, children aged seven and above will enjoy 'The White Cat', presented by the Jabberwocky Theatre Company.

Based on a short story by E Nesbit, this tale — told by one actor with the help of six puppets — will be performed from 2 p.m. tomorrow, also at St Columba's School.

Also taking place tomorrow is a workshop run by Dundee based art promoters Yuck 'n Yum.

Held from 10 a.m. at Cupar YMCA, the event will demonstrate how to compile and publish your own 'zine'.

This weekend represents the final opportunity to see Colin Andrews' video recreation of Vincenzo Lunardi's historic balloon flight between Edinburgh and Cupar at 31a Bonnygate.

Colin's piece was the recipient of this year's visual arts award, selected by guest artists Dalziel & Scullion, who themselves are exhibiting at the old St Columba's School building on Millgate.

In addition, the work of around 40 other artists is on display at various venues around town.

Now in its second year, the festival is being run in conjunction with official media partner the Fife Herald.

Tickets for the various events can be purchased from festival headquarters The Shop, at 6 Crossgate, or by logging on to www.attfife.org.uk.
