MUSIC fans flocked to Darlington town centre to enjoy an afternoon of Rhythm and Blues in the sunshine.

The return of the popular annual Darlington RnB Festival brought hundreds of people to the Market Square to watch a host of acts headlined by the Band of Friends - the Rory Gallagher Band, Gerry McAvoy and Ted McKenna.

In addition to the main stage there were also a host of fringe events taking place in bars and pubs in and around the Market Square.

Bands such as East Coast Mainline, The Boneshakers and The Dead Cats performed across a number of Darlington venues including Avalon, The Pennyweight, The Quays and The Voodoo Café on Skinnergate.
