Thanks to Steve Walker for sending us these pictures and video footage of Saltdog at Brightlingsea Festival at the weekend.

The eighth Brightlingsea Music Festival saw about 25 bands play in front of thousands of revellers over three days of free entertainment.

Organiser Chris West hailed the event as the best supported ever, with an estimated 6,000 fans turning out in the sunshine.

Colchester’s punk/folk rockers Saltdog were Saturday evening's final band.
