Never heard of any of the performers must be getting old

NorthNineteen · May 2014

It's mostly urban music (hip hop, rap, r&b) with a bit of dance/electronic. Expect lots of pissed up teenagers and wannabe gangsters.<br>

There's another post about it. I am ancient, but I like Pharrell (everyones heard 'Happy' and the Daft Punk one, name escapes now), and the brilliant OutKast. Kanye West is a ridiculous posturing gobshite but has knocked out some cracking songs. No interest in the rest.

Dear All <br><br>Thought I would let people know about the Finsbury Park Stakeholders group. This meets regularly to help stakeholders to work together to successfully implement the Outdoor Events Policy within Finsbury Park.<br><br>I am aware that there is much controversy with views for and against the councils park concerts policy and I dont propose to be drawn into that debate here in what is in my view a community information portal. But if you do want to know about the efforts the stakeholder group has made to influence stricter controls and better coordination around major events in the area you can read it <a href="http://www.haringey.gov.uk/community-and-leisure/parks-and-open-spaces/getting-involved/finsbury-park-stakeholder-grouphttp://">here</a>.<br><br>Attendance at the Stakeholder Group meetings is by membership only. If you are interested in raising concerns please do so in the first instance with one of the listed members of the Group. <br><br><br>
