JOO LYE IS ‘ERE ME MON!
After months of planning cajoling bands and generally having a shed
load of beer on the pretext of attending meetings the inaugural Black
Country Festival is here! Those of you who regularly pick up this guide
may have noticed it’s a bit thicker than usual a bit like my good self after
a few pints of the ever popular The simple reason is we are proud to be
associated with the Festival and have the pleasure of including all the info
you need to have a great month and indeed a Bostin’ Black Country Day
Flip the guide over and you’ll find comprehensive details of the Festival
