Seymour Quigley, musical director at the festival, said: “The festival is a volunteer-run, independent arts project, working alongside local promoters to showcase and celebrate the amazing wealth of arts and culture happening in the west Suffolk area on a grassroots, DIY basis.

“Our aim each year is to bring together as many independent promoters, artists and companies operating within the town, to provide an affordable and inclusive programme of music, theatre, comedy, poetry, dance, art, literature, film and seminars for all ages to enjoy.”

The festival kicks off on Friday, March 29 at The Constitutional Club when The Right Combination Northern Soul Club showcase their talents.
