The first night sees acclaimed stage, TV and film actor and vinyl DJ, Ben Miles, joining host DJ, music writer and Woodbridge Festival founder Ben Osborne.
Following the opening interview, in which Ben Miles will discuss his career and the tracks he has selcted for playback, there'll be a B2B DJ set from both of the Bens.

But Ben’s roots and long lasting passion are in vinyl DJing. And his creativity and talent is equally evident spinning on the decks as it is on screen and stage.

He’s DJed clubs and festival’s internationally and has writen two books on music, including his best selling Arctic Monkey’s autobiography. He’s an award-winning and pioneering creative producer and his articles on music have appeared in most of the broadsheet newspapers and many specialist magazines.
