Music bash in Bungay will bring people to the town
BUNGAY is to host a music bash next Saturday which will see electronic music fans descend on the town from across the country.
The event is organised by Bungay-based music producers and artist David and Elaine Wright, whose company AD Music moved to Suffolk from the south coast around 10 years ago.
It is hoped that the Bungay Bash, which is being held at the Fisher Theatre, could become an annual fixture in the town’s calendar.
AD Music has mainly held concerts in the north of the country because many fans are based in that area, but most of Mr Wright’s band, Code Indigo, live in Suffolk and Norfolk so it was decided that they would hold the event in Suffolk.
The event should bring people to the area and the label has already advertised local bed and breakfasts and hotels on their website.

“It is good for business and good for the theatre,” said Mrs Wright. “We have got people coming for most of the day.”
As well as a mix of traditional electronica music and instrumental rock, there will be graphic backdrops and lighting from some of Europe’s finest artists.
