14 & 15 July / 1pm – 7pm / London, Pottersfiled park (tower bridge) / entry FREE / Family friendly

Here’s a video of the Tapas festival 2010

In fact this will be our 4rth year in a row that we have been playing at the Tapas fantasticas. The first year we got paid to busk in the street outside of the festival to promote it (it was held in bricklane at that stage) and we not only blocked the whole street but also sold out all our CD’s too! We made such a big impression that one yearlater, we were the headline and feature band for the festival… and still going strong!

Here’s a video of our first “busking”performance for Tapas fantasticas

A free festival celebrating Rioja wine, Spanish food and lifestyle. Taste a variety of red, white and rosé wines from some of Rioja’s most famous vineyards and sample a selection of tapas from London’s finest Spanish restaurants and gourmet food producers. Listen and dance to the sounds of Fernando’s Kitchen, enjoy on-stage cookery demonstrations and join our experts to learn all about Rioja wines on a wine workshop or walk. Even children can get involved, making the most of the dedicated art and craft area with its very own face painter. Join us for an authentic taste of Spain in the heart of London!
