Woodlarks, and Theo Bard.
Festival season is truely upon us. Be

THIS weekend. It's a free festival with top attractions and line-ups.
The following weekend we're off to serve up Friday Folk at Glastonbury in
the Shangri La field. If you're there, hope you can make it!
Next
week sees a night of Brighton based musicians at the Old Queen's Head, a
selection of Old Folk, New Folk and No Folk! We're particularly looking
forward to a set from Birghton based fiddle maestro Ben Paley, who
will be performing a set of tunes and songs with his legendary
multi-instrumentalist father Tom Paley - who surely needs no
introduction!
and don't forget the big ol' South London Barn Dance
at the Rivoli Ballroom on Friday 3rd July...

PARADISE GARDENS FESTIVAL
Saturday 20th June Victoria
Park East London 12am - 10pm
The Magpie's Nest is absolutely
thrilled to be contributing a selection of acts to this year's paradise
gardens festival. For those of you who have not been to the festival
before, you are missing one of London's BEST free festivals, and this
can't be overstated. Now in it's 5th year, the festival boasts the cream
of UK festival acts, fringe and performers, Carter's Steam fair and
all sorts of attractions you'd expect at any paid festival.
The
Magpie's Nest is scheduling a stage in the People's Palace on Saturday
20th June, and we reckon it's one of our best ever festival line ups.
Plus, it's free for you to come and enjoy. We have selected acts mainly
from East London, breaking through to larger stages in this current "Folk
Revival".
Some of you on this list may remember StokeFest, which is
sadly no more. Paradise Gardens definitely fills the gap for our fix of
free community festivals in East
London.
THE FULL LINE UP REVEALED:
12
- 1: Magpie's Nest DJ Set 1 - 2: Sam Carter + Band 2 - 3: The
Woodlarks 3 - 4: Plaster of Paris 4 - 5: The Long Notes 5 - 6:
Katy Carr 6 - 7: Bobby McGees 7 - 8: Victor Menace 8 - 9:30: Cut
A Shine 9:30 - 10: Magpie's Nest DJ
what an
absolute cracker! See you there!
