Fantastic festival
THE weather held and festival-goers came to Newark in their thousands for a weekend of top quality entertainment. It was a real feather in the cap for a town our size to be hosting an event boasting a band as big as Madness as the headline act.

Credit should go to the town council for having the courage to set the bar so high.

Not even a technical hitch at the start of the gig could dampen the crowd’s enthusiasm.

There was some disquiet at the £35 price of a ticket to see Madness, although that is the going rate for a band of their calibre.
