A WHOLE host of local bands gave up their time for free to help raise hundreds of pounds at this year’s Oxjam Music Festival over the weekend.

The Black Sheep bar in Ryde hosted six acts on Friday night while the House of Legends in Newport had an afternoon and evening set, which included a dozen bands, on Saturday.

Good crowds came along to support the event — the first time the Isle of Wight had taken part in it.

The festival raised around £1,200 for Oxfam.
