ORGANISERS have hailed a two-day music festival in Richmond Castle a success.
Richmond Live began earlier than usual this year, thanks to the backing of the Black Sheep Brewery and the North Yorkshire Connecting Youth Culture team.
Music workshops started on Friday lunch time, giving youngsters aged between five and 18 the chance to shine through.
Winners, M Theory, had the crowd's undivided attention as the headline act on the first night.
On Saturday, music fans had the choice of 24 different acts.
Police had scuffles to deal with on both nights, but there were no major concerns over security.
Event spokesman Mike Jinks said the festival, which attracted about 10,000 people, may not be able to cater for many more. He said: "It's a fantastic venue but, if we are going to stay here, we may look at a free ticket system."
