HORDES of music fans descended on Jobbers Wood near Bishop's Stortford on Sunday (July 4) for the second annual Cazfest charity music festival.
The 12-hour event, headlined by soul sensation Lemar and rising hip-hop icon Tinchy Stryder, drew well over 3,000 visitors and raised many more thousands for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY).
Final figures are still being counted - but organisers hope to smash last year's totals, when 2,500 people visited and CRY benefited to the tune of £25,000.
Also heading up the day were London indie-rockers The Holloways, energetic Edinburgh electro-rap trio Young Fathers and dance act Pukka Up.
Harlow five-piece Morning Parade, who signed a five-figure record deal with Parlophone earlier this year, were among the fantastic local bands who supported them.
Cazfest was launched in memory of 17-year-old Bishop's Stortford High School student Caroline Johnstone, who died of sudden heart failure while on a night out with friends in 2008. Her parents Lesley and Johnny and younger brother Ross are among the organisers.
