Festival goers in the VIP section at Weston Park this afternoon got a special treat when The Holloways turned up at the Cake press tent to perform an inpromptu gig.

As the band set their equipment up, the crowd around the tent started to grow and by the time the first song began the humble press marquee was beginning to fill to the brim.

The group performed a few of their most popular songs including their new single Generator for the assembled celebrity guests and photographers before departing to prepare for their set this afternoon at 6:50 on the Virgin Mobile Union stage.

Here’s a pic from the performance…
