Clon Festival - The Moonwalkers

Michael Jackson Tribute Band

This years Clon Festival came to a sudden close last night as the excellent Michael Jackson tribute act were playing to what must have been the biggest audience of the event....rain stopped the show at 11.50pm. The 'Moonwalkers' started off the night with the later Michael Jackson hits and then went onto his older stuff, a great evening but such a shame we didn't see their full show...maybe they will be back another year!
