Islington Tribune - by PAUL KEILTHY
Published: 8 August 2008
 
Festival first

HUNDREDS are expected to attend the first Blackstock Road festival on Sunday.
The event has been organised in the wake of a mass raid by 600 police on 19 premises, including butchers, internet cafés and travel agents, in March.
Islington North MP Jeremy Corbyn said: “I will be there supporting the shopkeepers and trying some Algerian food, not the meat though, because I’m a vegetarian.”
The Festival of the Senses, from noon to 6pm will celebrate the diversity of Blackstock Road. Roads will be closed from Rock Street to 52 Blackstock Road.
To lend a hand, call organiser Hannah Banjo of FinFuture community trust on 020 7272 0492.
