The LeeStock Music Festival (originally known as LeeFest) is an annual music festival, held in Sudbury, Suffolk since 2006 in memory of a local man, Lee Dunford, who died the same year.[1] The festival raises money for the Willow Foundation, a national charity that gives special days to seriously ill young adults. The festival is part of a number of events that aim to raise the profile of the Willow Foundation and raise money for them including a pub crawl,[2] a football match,[3] and a Twenty20 cricket match. Prior to the 2012 festival, LeeStock has raised £25,000 for the Willow Foundation.[4]
In 2011, LeeStock was held over the weekend of 28 and 29 May and featured indie band Dodgy and ex-The Bluetones lead-singer Mark Morriss as the headline acts along with acts from all over the UK.[5][6] It was held at the White Horse public house in Sudbury.[6]
LeeStock 2012 was moved to the larger capacity home ground of A.F.C. Sudbury, King's Marsh, after selling out in 2011.[7] It was headlined by Mark Morriss, Nigel Clark of Dodgy, D:Ream and Wheatus.[7] The acoustic stage was headlined by Nick Howard[8] who went on to win that year's The Voice of Germany.[9]
In 2013 the festival moved again, to the stately home and National Trust property Melford Hall,[10] in Long Melford. The festival was headlined by Toploader and Space.[11] By early 2014, the festival had raised almost £50,000 for the Willow Foundation and that year's event, held again at Melford Hall, was headlined by the Lightning Seeds and an acoustic set by Terrorvision.[12]
In late 2014, the headlining act for 2015 was announced as the pop rock band Scouting for Girls
