BBC Hereford & Worcester at MappFest

BBC Hereford & Worcester at MappFest
This month's sessions were recorded at MappFest at Link Top Common in Malvern.

The event began as a birthday celebration for local resident Andy Mapp, raising money for local charities.

The June event raised £6,400 for the Acorns Children's Hospice and the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

This year's festival was a 2-day celebration which finished up with a fly past from the Red Arrows.
