This week we checked out a new three-in-one event with activities and singalongs to be had, as well as a new name to be rocking out to!
Listen back to the full show here (Go to 22:43 for EssexFest and 45:46 for Blackwater Kings):
First up tonight I chatted to Havering Mind’s Ciaran White, the main man behind EssexFest – a trio of events happening at Harrow Lodge Park in Hornchurch this weekend (12-14th July). Plenty of live music to be had at Essex Pop Fest on Friday and Essex Tribute Fest on Saturday, while Essex Family Fest on Sunday has attractions for kids and parents alike. You can get Essexfest tickets and find out more about supporting Havering Mind at essexfest.co.uk.
Next up we were joined by Mike from North Essex’s Blackwater Kings. The foursome have had a busy year of gigging so far this year and have just released a new single, Intergalactic Space Trucker, with more new material to come later this year. They’re working on that at the moment before returning to the live scene in September with sets at Coda Colchester and Kingston’s The Fighting Cocks – stay tuned for more news on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
