Very close.  They starting using Martin in 2008, but they didn't use the MLA for a while afterwards.  If you regularly attended the headliners, it was the year they got very loud!

Basically, you got all of the bonus questions, but not the actual question.

Kylie only missed out Tears On My Pillow

 

She played six and missed one out?

You have to be impressed by that?

I saw her with Nick Cave, after my shift...

"Where the wild roses Grow"

Again, impressive. UK No. 11.

Spot on and over to you.

Another solar powered venue is The Bimble Inn, which has been in The Park since 2007.  Where could it be found before it was in The Park?
