It's the last long weekend of the year, and we do extol that Two For Joy are
presenting the best and only alternative to that significant event that might
well be happening in West London over the weekend. If you tire of or want to
avoid pounding the crowded streets of West London, head to the Old Queen's
Head in Islington and revel in the fine selection of Folk and Acoustic acts
we've drafted in from across town, across the Country and from across the
World.
If, however, you do choose to go to West London (only for a bit, and then to
our Festival for the evening), then be sure to check out our friends Solution Sound,
who have taken on Jah Observers spot. This is their first year at Carnival,
and we wish them much fun and good vibes.
Lastly, we've added another fav band to Monday's Line Up (and shuffled the
timings around a bit). We are chuffed to be joined by yoB! Also,
playing a late set, we welcome back DJ Cal Jader
playing the best in modern and classic Latin Remix. Bam!
PS. Old Man
Luedecke is a totally massive name in Canada and on the Folk Scene here
and is a totally awesome headliner to have at a free gig. We pulled some
strings and he heard how fun these gigs are, so you gotta come and check it
out. Oh, and he's not actually an old man.
Other Stuff.....
New Show Added! The Whitetop
Mountain Band from Virginia!
The Water
Tower Buckets Boys hit town....
B..B..B..B..Bestival!
More stuff soon.

Two For Joy Bank Holiday All Day Folk Festival V
Bank Holiday Monday 27th August 2012
The Old Queen's Head, 44 Essex Road, London, N1 8LN
FREE!!! + PASS THE HAT
info
The fifth Two For Joy Bank Holiday Folk Festival at the Old Queen's Head. 11
bands take over the entire pub with stages upstairs and down, showcasing the
hottest emerging talent from the UK and International folk scene. Heaps of
local bands and bands from all over the country and world converge for a jam
packed folk out.
We are using a new model for the show. We are making it FREE ENTRY! We get a
small percentage from the bar to cover basic costs for our musicians travel,
food and our production. Then it is up to you, THE AUDIENCE, to pay the
bands. After every set our helpers will pass the hat, and we implore you to
give generously and reward our hard working musicians. A quid per person per
band will send our musicians home with a good living wage and a smile on
their faces. Change available at the door.

Totally authentic and much cherised old time string band music from the
Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. The Real Deal. The daughter of this family
band and her friend joined us at Bestival last year and absolutely tore the
place apart with firery flatfoot dance and some rippin' banjo and fiddle
tunes. It's great to have the whole family over for the whole show. See you
there.
This is a co-promotion with our West London buddies The Willesden
Folk Union.
The
Water Tower Bucket Boys
The Harrison, Kings Cross.
