MUSIC DAY 2009 - SUNDAY 5th JULY!

Music Day 2009 was the biggest and best yet- with approx 30,000 people show up to enjoy the glorious weather and the incredible line up on offer. It was impossible not to pick up on the festival atmosphere in Christchurch Park as thousands of people soaked up the sun and enjoyed all that the day had to offer. Across its nine stages the free music festival encapsulated an exceptional range of music from Samba to Strings along with plenty of scintillating new bands and acoustic artists from in and around Ipswich.
