The 92nd Isle of Wight Music, Dance and Drama Festival kicked off in style last Sunday (February 27) with a rock and pop day at Shanklin Theatre.

Scores of youngsters took part in a range of singing classes and it was clear from their faces that they were pleased to be back performing live on the stage, following the festival’s innovative virtual event last year.
