The first three Brownstock Festivals were private family events hosting local bands that were unsigned at the time, including The Brights, Darwyn, These New Puritans and Matt Cardle.
In 2009 the Brown Family applied for and were granted an official entertainments licence by Essex County Council[1] and the event became public for the first time.
