A top event at Walsall Airpot’s top hangar today!
For early September, there’s an awful lot happening this weekend. I’m making a point of advertising this event, as it’s part something special, and very close to my heart – Black Country Echoes. This is a topic you’ll find me banging on about more and more in weeks to come.
This is set to be a fun show. If Muttfest, the Shoulder of Mutton Music Festival isn’t your bag, and you don’t fancy the hedgehog event, there’s this vintage celebration to bring out the 50s nostalgia in you – it runs from 12noon to 5pm at the top hangar, Aldridge Airport.
Find out what Black Country Echoes is all about here, and you can also check out their activity on Facebook.
