About Teddy Rocks Festival
In 2010; festival director Tom Newton’s younger brother Ted Newton, lost his life to a rare bone cancer aged 10.

As a way of raising money for the charity, Tom started Teddy Rocks Festival in the courtyard of his local pub, The Greyhound; at which time he raised £400. Six years later and TRF has raised close to £100,000 with help from internationally recognised bands such as: From The Jam, The Hoosiers, Don Broco, Gentlemanís Dub Club and The King Blues.
