These fantastic images by Echo photographer Martin Whitham show just some of the highlights from a popular music festival in East Devon. On the back of a hugely successful inaugural event last summer, Bicton Fest, held in the picturesque grounds of Bicton College near Budleigh Salterton, boasted a line-up of the some of the region's best musical talent. The intimate, family-friendly bash, is taking place this weekend and covering a wide range of genres from rock and reggae to ska, acoustic and folk acts. Musicians include X Factor finalist Luke Friend, 17, from Teignmouth, and BBC1's The Voice star Adam Isaac, from Bradninch. A string of 66 top regional acts were set to perform including Willie and the Bandits, the Loose Canons, Land of the Giants and Mad Dog Mcrea who performed at this year's Glastonbury Festival and captivate audiences with a spellbinding recipe of folk, pop, rock, jazz and bluegrass. In addition to the live music there are a host of activities for people of all ages to enjoy including face painting and Bounceactive providing next generation sports, including zorb football. This year, the organisers worked closely with Devon based The Music Mill to create a third day of live performances, The Big Gig, to celebrate the work of former BBC Radio Devon presenter & producer John Govier and culminating in the Big Jam at the end of the night.
