festival

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!

 The event was organised as part of St Albans Festival, it had the feel of a village fete. lots of entertainment for the children, a band playing live music and stalls. There was a variety  stalls selling cakes, books, plants, tombola, an interesting stall selling vintage objet d'art, I bought two scarves one a souvenir of Paris. There was also a very informative stall  selling honey, organised by the St Albans Beekeepers' Association.
