Friday Fun and local music round up - 6th March 2026

 Well lets follow the Barnet Blog tradition and start with a joke! Once again, thanks to that fine purveyor of Dad jokes, Robert Wilkinson. This is the sort of joke my Dad loved BTW!

My friend says he's studying forensics.

Big deal. I learned that in primary school.
The answer is ten.

And on to the local music round up. Lets start with some big news! My band, The False Dots are back at the Dublin Castle on Sunday week, with a brand new single and video - a tale of horror in a 60's cartoon style and a bit of Benny Hill thrown in! CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS - We will be ably supported by Barnet & Liverpool band Those Naughty Lumps, and a brand new band called No Idea.

Here's a little preview animated video we made
