MUSIC will be played this weekend in memory of a “little ray of sunshine” who died from an aggressive cancer when she was 18 months old.

Bands will take to the stage throughout Saturday for the seventh Yeah Baby music festival to raise cash for four charities that helped the family of Amber Phillpott after she was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer.

Amber underwent chemotherapy but lost her battle with the disease in March 2011.

As well as seven bands playing in Abingdon Market Place, the square will be filled with stalls selling arts and crafts, barbecue, games and a balloon race, where red, blue and white balloons will be released into the summer sky.

All the proceeds go to the Amber Phillpott Trust, Helen and Douglas House hospice, Ronald McDonald House and the Oxford Children’s Hospital. The festival runs in Market Place from 11am to 5.30pm then moves to the Broad Face, Bridge Street, from 7pm.

Entry is free but organisers ask for a small donation.
