Some laid back dub and reggae tracks which, for me, were a great warm-up for Dreadzone who were headlining Thursday evening on The Pallet Stage. The Woodland stage really is a delight to behold.Īs the Woodland began to fill Don Letts took to the stage with his decks and gave us something to bounce about.

Every time I walk into The Woodland clearing the Bearded crew manage to take my breath away and stretch a big grin across my face with the beautiful way they transform the woodland into a magical place.
