Dundee’s West End councillors have thanked organisers for putting on a successful WestFest over the weekend.

Despite new licensing restrictions and security measures, the annual event, held on Madgalen Green, was attended by thousands of people on Sunday.

Among the main performers were Rise Kagona and The Jit Jive Band, Kashmir Crows, Miami Vince and Bowie Night.

Councillor Fraser Macpherson said, “It was great to see such a huge turnout of folk on Magdalen Green at WestFest’s Big Sunday and the day was a great success.

“So many local residents were there and that helped to make it such a wonderful day.

“Thanks go to the WestFest team for again organising such a superb community event.

“The team are all local volunteers and we all owe them a great debt of gratitude for all the hard work they put in to deliver such a great day in the West End.”

As well music there were food stalls, children’s events and attractions, arts and crafts, as well as a licensed bar area.

In previous years, the festival had breached licensing laws and Police Scotland said they would no longer turn a blind eye.

Fences were erected to stop people bringing in their own alcohol and there was additional security due to recent terrorist attacks.

Councillor Richard McCready said: “I want, as a local councillor and local resident, to express my appreciation of the work done by the WestFest committee.

“Everyone who attended this event owes them a debt of gratitude.

“This is a great event enjoyed by people from the West End and beyond. It was great to see so many local people enjoying this event.”
