Electric Picnic is in full swing - quite literally - as Ireland's King of Swing and his band rocked the Trailer Park on Friday evening.
Luke Thomas and his band The Swing Cats, specialising in uptempo swing music and wintage pop music, took to the stage shortly after 6pm on Friday and got a huge crowd moving in the evening sunshine.
With two No.1 albums, three TV concert specials, countless sold out tours and nine personally requested performances for President Michael D Higgins, Luke Thomas & The Swing Cats were a big attraction.
They are one of the most in-demand live bands in Ireland and have also appeared on the RTE Late Late Show, Ireland AM, SIX O'Clock Show, Today Show and every major radio station in the country.

We were there at the Trailer Park as the crowd raucously sang along to classic hit, I love you, baby! The atmosphere is certainly building in Stradbally with 80,000 people to attend over the weekend.
