IW Festival Coverage
Jun 21st, 2008 | By Lucy Johnson | In: Isle of Wight, News, On TVIsle of Wight News: ©Island Pulse 2008: All Rights Reserved. Last weekend the Isle of Wight played host to over 50,000 music fans who travelled far and wide for three days of new and classic rock and pop.
As the curtain came down on the last act, tents were packed away and the party goers frantically made their way to catch the ferry back to the mainland.
Global coverage of the headline acts is very easily achieved by a quick online search. Local coverage is being highlighted via ITV Local.
