Punk princess Toyah Willcox and rock legend husband Robert Fripp brought the Saturday performances at Rookery Meadow to a close with a set that included not only her own hits from the ’80s but also iconic rock numbers such as David Bowie’s Heroes and Guns N’ Roses’ Sweet Child of Mine, many of which featured Fripp on guitar in their original versions.
 
At the start of Toyah’s performance, one fan threw a pair of red underpants onto the stage, which she somewhat gingerly picked up to show the crowd, much to their delight.
 
Despite the good forecast and sunny start to the afternoon, the weather changed and fans found themselves dancing in heavy showers.
 
Between the downpours the crowd were treated to the sight of a double rainbow over one of the two stages, which lent a magical air to the proceedings.
 
Festival director Tom Crisp said: “Reepham Festival punches well above its weight with a professional set-up and superb facilities for both bands and attendees.
 
“Bands who play our stages are always amazed at the atmosphere: we create something that is unique in the festival circuit.”
 
The second day of the festival took place in Reepham’s Market Place, with bands playing in the courtyard of the King’s Arms pub, including the Cult tribute band Cultish.
 
Reepham Festival is a community interest company run by volunteers, receiving sponsorship from such companies as Hansells Solicitors, Busseys, Auction House East Anglia and Taverham Nursery Centre.
 
Any surplus profits from ticket sales and the on-field bar will be donated to local charities.
