Live Music for free this weekend in Mill Hill Broadway
This weekend promises to be an absolute belter! Sunshine is forecast and we are lucky to have a live, free open air music festival in Mill Hill Broadway at the new town square! There will also be amazing food and a bar, set up on the Broadway Town square next to Boots.
There is an amazing line up over two days. We are really excited to see some firm favourites of the Mill Hill Markets Festival back on the Broadway. Regulars will know the excellent sounds of Simply Gray with their Rock and Roll classics, Drop Pink, Bossa Bandits and Radfax. There are also some excellent new artists for the festival, such as Ukulele band The Uke's and the amazing Dire Pitan.
The Barnet Eye is also thrilled to be performing in person with my Band the False Dots. Our very first gig was up the road, a mere 39 years ago at The Harwood Hall! We've changed a bit and are absolutely thrilled to be playing in the week when we release our brand new video, "They've Cleared Out Your Desk". The track features several amazing guest performances. We were honoured to have additional percussion added by Gavin Sorochan, who has played with The Drifters, The Coasters and Sweet to name but a few. The track also features a superb Rap by Arjay, a young rapper with a very brightg future ahead of him and Millie, a brilliant young student at The Brits School. Mill Hill Music Complex has form with talented female artists from the Brits School, as both Amy Winehouse and Kate Nash were students. Musically it is a massive departure from the bands normal sound and the video has won plaudits and praise from many sources for its illustration of life in London in 2018. There is some amazing footage shot in locations in Mill Hill, especially using the demolition site of the National Institute for Medical Research. The track is a Ska/Rock mash up. Have a listen and please join us at the festival. It has been released in association with the #KickOutCapita campaign and The Barnet Alliance for Public Services.
Hopefully see you for some fun on Friday at 7pm. If you can't make it for the False Dots, come down anyway, as I will be there most of the weekend and all of the artists are awesome.
