A THREE-DAY festival of music and fun for all the family at Tintagel has helped boost the funds for 'Abi's Wish to Walk'.

The festival was hosted by Carly Killingbeck with assistance from Paul Miller, Paul Beal Toms and Gavin Freake together with the Wish Fest Community.

Events kicked off on Friday with singer and acoustic guitarist October, followed by an exclusive visit from Dubblecross.

Innereyefull then entertained with down-tempo music, dub, hip-hop and jazz through to drum and bass, funk and breaks.

North Cornish coastal rock band, Bad Horsie preceded an evening with DJs Phibes (Drum and Bass), Hong Kong Ping Pong and Arfa G Roachman.

Topping the Friday night line up was the brilliant Baby D (Breakbeat hardcore) who sang three extended numbers, including the band's 1994 UK number 1 hit single 'Let Me Be Your Fantasy', written and produced by band member Floyd Dyce at the height of the British rave season.

Saturday saw a major line up of bands and DJs as the festival got into full swing, the skies blessing it with good weather and the rest of the non-musical aspect coming into its own with face-painting, graffiti, wood carving, willow craft, a bouncy castle, sweeties and hot dogs, ice cream and jewellery stalls.

The day kicked off with John Thorpe, Didge cooling out the crowd with some awesome didgereedoo, solo musician Jack Gregory from Newquay, acoustic folk/pop from Falmouth's The Pumped Up Kids, reggae and ska from Skata Tones and finally North Cornish coast DJs Yannis, Sneaky Nutz, Erron Turk Wellington (London Ministry of Sound), Fergie v Harris and Willis and Skinna.

So many people gave freely to help raise funds for 'Abi's Wish to Walk', a charity founded by Abi's mother to send Abi to St Louis Hospital in Missouri — recognised as one of the top children's hospitals by US News and World Report, which in 2015 ranked the hospital in all ten specialities surveyed.

The hospital is also part of a collaborative mission to eliminate all serious harm across all children's hospitals in the US, so the family know that Abi will be in safe hands.
