and she was looking forward to taking to the stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The singer-songwriter will perform on Saturday at the inaugural Halo Festival in Trinity Park, Ipswich, alongside Two Door Cinema Club and The Vaccines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The one-day event, organised by Stowmarket-based tech firm Halo, will also feature local artists across its three stages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Bedingfield said the event was &#8220;going to be so great&#8221; and she could not wait to kick-off a new festival playing songs people &#8220;love&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;You have to set the stage of how the whole [festival] is going to go, because we don&#8217;t know what the culture is yet [because it is a new festival],&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;So, I guess Unwritten is kind of the perfect song for that because we don&#8217;t know what it is going to be like and it depends on who shows up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The crowd will say what the festival culture will be,&#8221;

I feel at home in that environment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I&#8217;m quite introverted, but on stage I can be a lot more expressive and everything can be bigger,&#8221;
