Paul Woodhead, from the group, said: “We thought it would be good to get involved with the festival as a way of showing off what we do and as a way of trying to expand as well by telling people a bit more about us.”

This is the group’s first appearance at the Feel Good Festival, having started their group in February.

Paul added: “It went really well. We all enjoyed it and the people watching looked like they were having a good time.

“To us it doesn’t matter how big the event is, as long as we can show off what we can do, then we’ll do it.”
