First day of the Crouch End Festival

May 5, 2012 by Helena Halme 4 Comments

Festival beer and scotch eggs at The Maynard Arms

Guerilla Bunting gang had been at A Special Interest, one of the Barboot locations.

Sold!

It’s all in the detail: the light switch at Haberdashery Cafe loos

The nibbles kept the Englishman happy.
Live music
Next stop: Down for the Count at The Music Palace
This group of revellers showed us you’re never too old to party. These OAP’s (aged from 67 to 71!!!) treated us all to several professional sets of swing dancing. 
From left: Keith Madden, Anthony (who was recovering from a hip and back operation) and Linda Dalton and Marilyn Madden. 
Towards eleven o’clock the dance floor became crowded.

I am so tired from last night and suffering a little from my bad shoulder, so it’s a mainly visual post today. Enough to say I thoroughly enjoyed the first night of the festival and cannot wait to see and do more over the weekend. With most events being free (The Music Palace charged us £4 each which was the only entrance fee we paid last night), this is truly recession busting fun.

    I just thought to have a quick look at your blog 'How I came to be in England' but I could'n stop reading! I read it with a great interest as another Nordic 🙂 Looking forward to see the rest.
