Pics from Maidstone Fringe as festival continues to draw in the crowds

There are just two days left to catch the sixth Maidstone Fringe Festival which will see more than 100 bands playing in 14 venues across the town, showcasing some of the best new and original music Kent has to offer.

The festival began on Wednesday, and already the town's pubs and clubs have been host to an eclectic range of bands ranging from old-school rock and blues to the latest in contemporary folk, funk and hip hop.

Highlights still to come include Broken Banjo this afternoon at Earls in Earl Street, and Stacy and The Freeloaders tomorrow at The Style and Winch in Union Street.
