Free entertainment and live music all day at Gravesham Riverside Festival

A music-packed day of free entertainment is taking place in Gravesend, headlined by 90s pop band Dodgy.

Beer Pressure opened the popular event at the Gordon Place Promenade this morning.

They were followed by Kent-based band Skabretta featuring Jamaican reggae singer Susan Cadogan.

Cadogan shot to stardom in early 1975 when Lee "Scratch" Perry asked her to sing his version of ‘Hurt So Good’.

Tribute acts Oasish, Ultimate Dua Lipa and Stevie Wonder tribute also took to the stage this afternoon while kmfm DJ Andy Walker presented from the main stage.

Headlining the festival at 6.30pm was 90s band Dodgy, best known for their hit single Good Enough.

There was also lots of activities for children in Fort Gardens away from the main stage area, with party games, a giant bubble show, the chance to create their own temporary tattoos, and a Creepy Claws’ animal display.
