Rockin Road Festival 2011,​

Sunday 29th May has been ear marked for the 2nd Rockin Road Festival in aid of St Josephs School for the Bind & Visually Impaired in Drumcondra. Last year’s inaugural event saw 1,000 adults come through the gates on a wonderfully sunny day, to enjoy bands as diverse as These Charming Men, Liz Is Evil, The Mod Fathers and Oona & The Devils; all of whom gave their services free of charge. There were also vintage vehicles on display form clubs and individuals across the country including scooters, hot rods and motorbikes. The atmosphere was fantastic and hopefully this year can match that.
The event will again take place in the Grounds of St Josephs, with rolling green areas for picnics, plenty of space for dancing and if we’re really lucky sun bathing with live tunes from the stage. This year’s eclectic line-up consists of; thumping Rock- a- Billy tunes from Spellbound, classic Ska from The Very Specials, and lots of indie /punk sounds covered by The Josephs & Mouthpiece; classic guitar & RnR from Joe Fury and The Hayride, as well as the highly anticipated reunion of The Great Western Squares after 10 years! Djs H-Bomb Gav and Beep Beep will provide tunes to keep the mood flowing throughout the day. We also hope the array of vintage vehicles that arrive will surpass last year as they were of great interest to those in attendance. The back drop of St Josephs castle building and the grounds edged by mature trees gives this event a real boutique festival feel, and a sense that as well as enjoying a great day out, you’re part of something which will become an annual event on everyone’s calendar.
The event itself will run from 12 noon to 8pm, and there is a very simple admission policy; All adults €5, All children free. Simple! Last year we raised €5,000 and this went towards improving the equipment and general environment of blind & visually impaired Pre-School children with multiple additional disabilities who are extremely vulnerable and left even more so due to the repeated Government cuts. We hope to do as well again this year, as with such an excellent line-up at a competitive admission price, where could you find a better day out. There will be hot food & drinks, ice cream van & shop available on the day, but we operate a BYOB policy, so if you fancy a glass of wine or a beer, then you can bring your own and not be charged an arm and a leg as at other events. All we ask is that as there will be many children on the day, please enjoy your drink but do so responsibly.
I would like to give huge thanks to Avtek Solutions Ltd. & Tony Lanigan who provided the entire sound system for the day last year and will be doing so again this year. Needless to say we’d be dead in the water without this massive gesture.
So you have the date and time, you have the line up and you know where it is on.......all you have to do is get yourself, your family & friends, and bit of a picnic and some lemonades (ahem!), and of course the small sum of a fiver to stick in the bucket..........then feel free to dance or relax to the tunes of some excellent bands & Djs for 8 hours. We guarantee you won’t have a better day out for €5 while helping kids who need help. Cheers!

Hi
Yeah it was a great one last year and we are hoping that a lot more classic car owners will come this year, like everything word of mouth is the best publicity, so spread the word if you can. And if you came last year get someone else to drive your pride and joy back home so you can have your cold tinnies!!!!
