Làn Chomais, a Gaelic rock band from Greenfaulds High, were also invited to take to the stage.
To end the night all the acts took to the stage for a rendition of Dougie MacLean’s anthem, Caledonia.
NL Leisure hailed the event as a huge success and is already making arrangements to hold an ‘even bigger and better’ event next year.
