One last dance
Our final afternoon. No rules. No rush. Sunday Funday is exactly what it says on the tin. A chance to wind down, or wind things up one last time.
Headrush Brass Band are bringing the spirit of New Orleans to The Shoes. A reputation for turning streets, festivals and dancefloors into second-line celebrations. Inspired by the legendary Rebirth & Hot 8 Brass Bands and the Mardi Gras tradition, their sets combine authentic New Orleans brass with irresistible versions of funk, jazz, pop and R&B favourites. Bringing the kind of infectious energy that’s impossible to stand still through, and helping you make that hangover irrelevant.
Difazio, fellow Vinyl Gathering supporter and part of the Field Trip crew, joins us for the afternoon. We’ll start somewhere Balearic, but after that it’s yours. The records respond to the garden, the sunshine, the crowd and the moment. That’s always been the Carnivalism way.
If you’ve been with us all weekend, there’s no better way to finish it. If Sunday’s your first visit, you’ve picked a pretty good place to start, but what took you so long?

Difazio
Charity-shop digger, bargain-bin rummager and occasional party promoter. With a haphazard music collection, a healthy aversion to ambition, and the support of good friends, Difazio has somehow found himself behind the decks at such hallowed institutions as Barbarella’s in Croatia, Scala in London and, of course, The Shoes BoA.
