So many stars, and so little time, so let’s just get on with the rundown of all the amazing artists we managed to speak to this year!

The Proclaimers revealed that it was a privilege to come to T in the Park, why it’s the best festival in the world, and discussed the possibility of teaming up with fellow Scots treasure, Susan Boyle.

Festival veterans Stereophonics have been on the scene for over a decade - and they told us how they maintain a prime presence in the music scene.

T in the Park 2010: all the STV interviews

In a bit of a girl-power fuelled chat with stv.tv reporter Laura Boyd, Kate Nash spoke of her love for festivals, missing her boyfriend Ryan of The Cribs and a very interesting side project.

Maxi Jazz from Faithless revealed his true passion for Scotland, his other career as a race car driver - and the inside track on the future of the dance group.

The Cribs revealed their "good Scottish connections", revealing all about working with Alex Kapranos and Edwyn Collins - though perhaps we shouldn’t have asked them about Jay-Z...

Scouting for Girls admitted that they are big fans of Paolo Nutini and Shed 7, and told us how they feel very lucky to have forged out such a successful career in the music industry.

We spoke to Bloc Party’s enigmatic front man Kele about his recent solo venture and first Scottish date as a solo artist.

Hot Chip are no strangers to T in the Park, and we caught up with the band ahead of their King Tuts tent slot to chat about the current wave of electro bands, a crossover with LCD Soundsystem and their thoughts on boy band JLS.

At just 18 years old, rising Scots star Alex Gardner has already supported Whitney Houston and Leona Lewis and is just about to go on tour with JLS - and he also bears an uncanny resemblance to Twilight star Robert Pattinson!  We caught up with him at T in the Park to find out what he makes of such comparisons.

Another Scottish act there was The View, and Kyle from the band has been working with Mark Ronson - and through that has got to know none other than Mr. Jay-Z! We talked to them about their star connections ahead of their set.

Taking to T in the Park for the fifth time, the Ash boys discussed their ground breaking A-Z venture. They also revealed what they love about the Scottish festival, and talked about collaborating with Russell Lissack from Bloc Party.

Kids In Glass Houses divulged dirty secrets of their collaboration with Frankie Sandford of The Saturdays, and the guys also told us of future plans with music veteran Bonnie Tyler.

As the rain fell thick and fast, rising stars Chapel Club took a pew, played an exclusive acoustic song and spoke to us about the pains of being compared to Joy Division.

Delphic talked to us before their return performance at T in the Park about their association with Cheryl Cole, and what they've been up to in the past year - though they cheekily helped themselves to some free refreshment first! 

On the Friday we were extremely lucky to catch up with Robbie Furze from The Big Pink backstage on a manic dash to sound check for their Main Stage opening.

Eliza Doolittle chatted to us about being a Scottish festival virgin, her opinion on the current crop of girl singers and how life has changed since Skinny Genes.

Bombay Bicycle Club chatted about T in the Park, going acoustic and what it’s like featuring on the Twilight Eclipse soundtrack. And last but very definitely not least, we had a very special time talking to the absolutely wonderful Matthew P, who had a lot to say about himself and his first appearance at T in the Park.

    Jesus Christ! The Proclaimers and Susan Boyle, that's it I'm emigrating. No fan of Subo, but she is still better than performing with the ug twins.
