For the sixth year running The Yeah Baby free music festival took place on Abingdon Market Place – raising funds for local charities: Amber Phillpott Trust, Ronald McDonald Houses, Helen & Douglas House, and Oxford Children’s Hospital.
There were fun stalls: cakes, arts and crafts, face painting, play your cards right, and lucky dips. The Abingdon Fire Service was there with their engine, and Loose Cannon with beer. And bunting made by school children decorated the trees.
The main event was the music. Bands included: The Benbows with James Phillpott, founder of the Amber Phillpott Trust. Their song Highlife written for the event by James is downloadable for charity at 79p.
There were The Undercovers – who also played in Music in The Park.
There were also two big name bands: The DB band with Ex-Supergrass Bassist Mickey Quinn.
and Luciee Marie Closier from BBC’s The Voice.
