The Woodbridge Festival of Art and Music will debut a new night of music and interviews on Saturday, 29 March, featuring TV and film star Ben Miles and DJ Ben Osborne.
Why it matters: This event marks a new format for the 14-year-old festival, combining musical interviews with live DJ performances in a format inspired by the popular Desert Island Discs concept.
The details: Deben Island Discs will take place at Hopsters on Tide Mill Way in Woodbridge, with doors opening at 18:00 and the event starting at 18:30.
Ben Miles, known for roles in Coupling, The Crown, and The Forsyte Saga, will discuss his career and select tracks for playback during an interview with host DJ Ben Osborne.
Osborne is the founder of Woodbridge Festival and has DJed internationally, written two books, including the Arctic Monkeys' autobiography, and presented radio shows for Xfm, NME Radio, and Slack City Radio.
Following the interview, both Miles and Osborne will perform a back-to-back DJ set.
What to look out for: Tickets are available via the Woodbridge Festival website (www.woodbridgefestival.com) from Thursday, 20 March until Monday, 24 March, priced from £6 plus booking fee.
The bottom line: Tickets are unavailable on the door and must be purchased in advance.
