AS if ordered specially for the occasion, the sun came out on Friday for the Raglan Music Festival and didn't stop shining all weekend!

The festival was opened by Nicky Campbell who made presentations at Raglan school concert before going on to his own gig. Smerins Antisocial Club stopped by on their way to Glastonbury and Monmouth Big Band wowed the crowds at Raglan Parc Golf Club.

Saturday's children's workshops were as popular as ever and afterwards a London Bus took families up to Castle Mews to carry on music making.
