Fun in the sun...

uly brings music to the fore at festivals in Durham , Suffolk and Cambridge . While festivals along rivers seem pretty popular too - namely Stockton and Stratford-upon-Avon .

A flotilla of boats circle the Diamond Isle in Cowes Week and the Royal Albert Hall hosts the Proms - two months of classical music from classic to the avant garde.

And WOMAD returns to Wiltshire for an always interesting line up of music, arts and dance.
