Friday fun and local music round up

As is the tradition on Barnet Blogs, we start with The Friday Joke, once again courtesy of purveyor of fine Dad Jokes, our Twitter mate Robert Wilkinson

 

I met a woman in the pub, she said "my friends call me Vivaldi."
"Ah, so you love your Classical music then?" I asked.
She replied "No, my name's Viv and I work in Aldi."
