THIS was my first experience of Darwen Music Festival and it certainly won't be my last.

I was amazed at the diversity of the acts in the number of venues throughout Darwen. Certainly there was something for everyone.

The organisation was first-class and everyone had an excellent time with no hint of trouble.

I caught up with a group called Morning Call in Marigolds, who were a very good modern pop band and they were followed by Elohymn, a progressive rock band who blew me away.

I certainly hope to see Elohymn again, maybe on the main stage where their type of music, I am sure, will go down very well indeed.

Once again, thanks to the organisers for a wonderful time and see you again next year.
