DORSET’S king of the boogie woogie piano, Ben Waters, headlines the first Best of Dorset Music Festival, which runs from Friday until Sunday on farmland between Milborne St Andrew and Bere Regis.

Designed as a celebration of the wealth of talent in the county and to showcase the variety of local food and drink, it will be a weekend of fun, camping and locally-sourced comestibles all washed down with great music.

Ben will play top of the bill on Saturday night; and with at least 17 other bands.
