It's a case of "Come on Eileen" at one of Kent's music festivals this year. The 80s pop supergroup Dexys has just been added to the line up at Lounge on the Farm, which is to be held at Merton Farm in Canterbury in July. The group will join headliners The Charlatans and the Brits Critics Choice award winner Emili Sande.

The boutique festival's aimed at promoting and showcasing Kent's creative and culinary talents. The food and drink on site is locally sourced and even the local cows play a part: the burgers and steaks served at the event come from the cows raised on Merton farm through the year.
