BritFest NYC 2011: June 4 @ The Delancey, New York, NY
BritFest NYC 2011 kicked off Saturday at The Delancey with a bang! The annual festival features social and entertainment events with British flavour. The whole shebang is produced by our friends over at Big Apple Brits. I, of course, was on hand to take in the live music feast!Lisa Redford got things rolling. Redford accompanied herself on guitar playing originals and covers. She does a great acoustic "Brass In Pocket" by the way. Her voice is down to Earth ... you know, that folksy, soulful kind of sound. You should check her out. I dig her sound.Next to take the stage was PreFab 4. If you didn't get it from their name, they cover the Beatles. Normally, I'm not much into cover bands but these guys play well, sing well and are 100% cheese free. Everyone sang along and a whole lot of folks danced. Seriously, if you couldn't have fun while these guys were playing, something might be wrong with you!It was a terrific night of music fun. Check out a few photos from the evening.
