bands

Last night it was St Michaels Street folk evening. The street was closed to traffic for the evening so both   dancers and onlookers could enjoy themselves. Four pubs in the street had live bands, we saw the Swanvesta Social Club playing at the Black Lion, a local band that have a loyal following and deservedly so with their inauthentic sound of Cuba, latin beat with just a hint of St Albans!

Chuck, my friend Angie's husband, organised a free all day live music event at the Six Bells Pub in St Michael's Street. Although it was breezy the sun shone and everyone there enjoyed all the different types of music. The bands that played were The Swan Vesta Social Club, The Runaway Boys, The Hornblower Brothers, Coracle, Dan Raza, The Harpenden Pipe Band, The Batford Band and last but not least Angie and Chuck. It marks the start of the St Albans Festival 21 June - 6 July.
