Barnet Eye weekly roundup - A few new local websites

I've been asked to plug a couple of new websites which may be of interest to readers in and around the Borough of Barnet.

There's a new FACEBOOK page for anyone interested in Music in the Borough of Barnet (and surrounding areas - It goes under the name of Barnet Beat. If you've got a gig or want to know what's going on, check it out. It's open access, free to use and free to join.

I've also been asked to give a plug to a new website called  "The Friends of Finchley Catholic High School" - It has a noticeboard, an archive and lots of other info for people associated with the school. If you are an old boy, it is well worth a look.

At the Barnet Eye, we're always happy to plug local community interest websites, so just drop me an email if you want a mention.

Music in the London Borough of Barnet - Barnet Beat Facebook site

I just got an email from Simon Gordon, who runs Sound Skool, which is a company that provides music courses for young people. He's launched a Barnet Beat facebook page. Simon has launched the site to encourage people to share information about music, gigs and other events in the London Borough of Barnet. Simon has asked me to give the site a plug on my blog, which I'm more than happy to do.

Please check out the Barnet Beat Facebook site -

Strangely enough, when I first started blogging, I was trying to do what Simon is doing with the Facebook site - ie trying to publicise music in Barnet. I got a bit distracted. I hope the Barnet Beat facebook page is a bit more successful.

Barnet Beat is a loose and informal consortium of people, companies, schools, colleges and Barnet Council, etc, all with an interest in promoting music in the London Borough of Barnet.
