Everywhere at Once @ 2 Tone Village

 

The weekend of the 27th & 28th   June Knights Bar, 2 Tone Village took part in a National, Music Venue Trust initiative , Everywhere At Once festival, to highlight the importance of Grassroots Music Venues.

The national event took place on what would have been Glastonbury Festival weekend, the aim being to showcase the venues where artists first step on the stage, where Glastonbury headliners hone their craft, and where communities have access to local and affordable live music.  The weekend supported War Child, Nordoff and Robbins – music therapy, Help Musicians UK, and Teenage Cancer Trust

We are grateful to the Music Venue Trust for their staunch support of the Grassroots Music sector.

Our weekend was kicked off on Saturday with local bands Hally and The Triumph Blues Band, with their own original music, not our usual Ska/Reggae/2 Tone but both excellent bands definitely worth seeing if you get a chance.  On Sunday we had The Big Social Experiment, Ska, Reggae, Punk a great way to end a great weekend we also raised funds for the Villages adopted Charity, CEFOVID Uganda.

Many thanks to all who attended over the weekend and we thank you for your continued support.

 OPEN 1000-1500 Friday - Sunday  Born and raised in Coventry, Joe Fiasco has spent decades documenting the City that continues to inspire his work. A familiar presence in its landscape, he has quietly recorded Coventry's evolution; its changing faces, its institutions and its streets, its pride, and its losses. From the City's football club, to its musical and cultural icons, and its everyday street corner scenes, these photographs capture a landscape in constant motion. In a life full of endings and beginnings; tragedy and humour; joy and despair, everything can be suspended within a single frame, and sometimes, briefly, things can be beautiful. "If you get through life as easily as you get into gigs... You'll be laughing!" - Dave Wakeling of The Beat and General Public, on Joe Fiasco, 1984
