Diss Fest, The Park, Diss, Norfolk - 22nd July 2018

2017's Diss Fest was memorable for the lashing rain, whilst this year's is memorable for the long hot summer, second only to that of 1976, which has left the grass more parched than at any time in living memory. Once again, Isobel's choir - Invidia Voices - is doing its thing in the Pagoda on Diss Park.
