The music festival was headlined by Britpop legends Ocean Colour Scene and also featured sets by Dundee indie rockers The View, West Yorkshire Britpop survivors Embrace and 90s indie-dance band Republica.
Given the era the bands are from, as well as it seemed the fans in attendance, the festival definitely had a mini T in the Park feel to it, with the location of the event next to Edinburgh Airport bringing back memories of the legendary Scottish music festival’s Balado Airfield site.
Summer Sessions Edinburgh returns on Saturday, August 24 with indie rockers Catfish and The Bottlemen.
9. Lets dance
Embrace started with rousing Britpop anthem 'All You Good Good People', before slowing things down with ballad 'Come Back to What You Know'. More tracks from the first half of the West Yorkshire band's career followed before they played later songs, including Chris Martin-written 'Gravity', and finished with 'Ashes' to get the crowd dancing. | National World Photo: Kevin Quinn
