Junk Funk Wheelie Bin Drumming!  the wheelie bin drumming band. Think African Drumming / Taiko / plus Stomp-ish choreographed routines using different sizes of bin, beating, kicking, dropping, flapping lids as well as using heavy duty drumsticks. Unbelievable fun, hellishly noisy and a great way to getting young people out of bed and involved in music making.  Junk Funk have performed lustily at numerous carnivals and festivals in 2008…if you were at Latitude you might remember them leading the kid’s parade on Sunday afternoon! They’ll be holding workshops for teenagers, followed by short performances, three times daily. Supported by Artlink is a registered Arts Award Centre offering young people an arts equivalent of the Duke of Edinburgh awards.  www.suffolkartlink.org.uk

Lose yourself in the joy of reading with our friends from Suffolk Libraries; they’ll be back with their lovely medieval tents.  In the baby & toddler tent you can play with a range of toys plus jump and jiggle to baby bounce and tot rock sessions.  In the other tent there will be books available for all ages of kids, read them there or take them to your tent.  All weekend there will be plenty going on, so come and join the fun.
