Ipswich musician to share stage with Mel C and Jessie Ware

Adam Thomas, who is from Ipswich and now lives in Ufford, will perform at The Cambridge Club Festival on the main stage next month in front of over 20,000 people, after winning a competition.

The competition, called Live and Local, was a collaboration between the festival and Greene King.

It gave artists from Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire the opportunity to perform at the festival, with Mr Thomas coming in first place, giving him the chance to perform on the Main Stage.

The 32-year-old said: "It was an online submission first, and then you went through to a live final, where the public were able to vote for whoever they wanted as winner.

"I am truly over the moon with this.

"I've worked tirelessly for so many years, so to see this just makes it so worth it."

He will perform on the main stage on the first night of the festival, which will also showcase on the same night, the talents of internationally renowned artist Jessie Ware, 'Unwritten' singer Natasha Bedingfield and 'Sporty Spice', Melanie C, who rose to fame as part of the Spice Girls.

He added: "I can't wait, honestly I am so excited.

"Being a 90s kid, I grew up with Spice Girls and things, so to perform on the same stage as one of them is just weird to think.

"What an amazing line up and such a great experience for me.

"I can't believe I'll be sharing the main stage with these legends."

Mr Thomas is set to perform a one hour set in front of festival goers on Friday June 7, and tickets can still be bought.

Before this, he is set to perform at the Suffolk Show at Trinity Park towards the end of the month.
