Mick Carpenter, drummer with Split Whiskers, who has organised the music at the festival for the past eight years, said: "I think this was the best one we have ever had, down to the organisation and the sunshine. It worked well all day long."
The Needingworth Festival has been going for over 20 years and has developed from bands playing off the back of lorry to a marquee with one band playing at one end while the next sets up at the other.
