Description

Woodbridge Festival's 14th year takes place on the weekend of 28-31 August with events on either side of the weekend.

Legendary 1960s soul singer Geno Washington, and pioneering 1970s funk DJ Les Spaine, are the first headliners announced for the ‘Super Fly’ theme and will perform on Saturday, 30th August.

Super Fly is the first project to research and celebrate the role US Air Force bases in Suffolk played in bringing American black music into Britain from the 1950s to 1990s. Geno Washington is playing his first gig in Woodbridge since he started his singing career when he was stationed at RAF Woodbridge in the USAF in 1965 - bringing Brit Soul home to Woodbridge 1965-2025.

Pioneering 1970s UK funk DJ Les Spaine makes an appearance 50 years after he first played Suffolk’s US airforce bases. At the time resident at Liverpool's 2000 capacity all night funk club Timepiece, and the UK’s biggest national funk club DJ, Les went on to become the first UK representative for Motown records; working with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and The Jacksons.
