A festival organiser is hoping to reproduce the success of this year’s event in 2012.

The four-day Fes-tea-val made its debut on the local music calendar in the grounds of Woodbridge’s riverside Tea Hut last weekend.

Now, Peter Hepworth, himself a singer/songwriter, wants to make it an annual event. Mr Hepworth, who has popped-up across much of the county with his Blue Bus Tour – a moveable concert venue driven between locations in a classic VW camper van – was delighted by the response.

Around 2,000 tickets were sold over the long Easter weekend, which was blessed with unbroken sunshine.

Mr Hepworth said: “The combination of weather, music and atmosphere made it a huge success. We’ll definitely be pushing for another one.

“Our team of volunteers were absolutely brilliant this year and went above and beyond the call of duty.”

Among the artists to grace the Fes-tea-val stage were local bands The Kabeedies, Tiny Dragons and The Diarys.
