Festival Director Graeme Merifield said ‘this year we would like to enhance the experience of the festival goer by offering them this opportunity to get closer to the music and musicians through our VIP ticket, it’s a great chance to see the Festival from the artists point of view and would make a special gift for any music lover’

The Wychwood organisers are already well on their way to creating another line-up that seamlessly mixes folk, jazz, indie, world and chillout music. Having already announced the Levellers to headline the Friday night, the organisers have added Woodstock original and festival old hand Country Joe Macdonald, newcomer and tender songstress Martha Tilston, as well as Robyn Hitchcock with new band Venus 3 featuring Peter Buck and regular musicians from REM and World Music Award and Grammy Nominee Anoushka Shankar, to a growing line-up
