Louis Eliot, Port Eliot Festival co-Director, commented on the festival's line-up:

"I'm looking forward to so many things. As a big Peep Show fan, I'm so pleased that Robert Webb will be here; his book, How Not to be a Boy, is really moving and insightful. And Brett Anderson taking about his fascinating memoirs too. Then there's Boy Azooga, who I'm thrilled to hear almost every time I switch on 6Music. And I'm excited that we'll have internet hit Jimothy Lacoste, whose hookline, 'life is getting quite exciting', seems to have captured a mood; I've even seen it on T-shirts. His quirky dance moves and guileless rhymes are irresistible. Then there'll be two members of Supergrass (Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey) playing separate shows of new material and old favourites - look out for a surprise appearance at at least one of these. In our new Fashion Foundation, you'll hear and learn from all sorts of artists, including Daphne Guinness, Star Wars costume designer, Glyn Dillon, who'll be chatting with Jessica Hynes, and Andrew Logan, who'll host a watercolour class. The late-night trapeze show in front of the house will be a wow and, as ever, our food offerings will be top notch. And finally, who knew that Teri Hatcher would give Bear Grylls a run for his money; her survival skills class is not to be missed!”

The line-up so far includes:- Baxter Dury, Brett Anderson, Gaz Coombes, Gwenno, Hollie McNish, Viv Albertine, Daphne Guinness, Ora Kiely, Reni Eddo-Lodge, Teri Hatcher, Lucy Mangan, Billy Bragg, Garth Jennings, Shappi Khorsandi, Danny Goffey, Boy Azooga, Teleman, Chris Difford, Brian Patten and many more.
