Featuring ‘Los Pistoleros’
Sunday 20th May – 7pm till 10.30pm Dulwich Park
Tickets: £12 (no concessions) Dress Code: 50s Country & Western

This year’s grand finale event of the Festival invites you to kick off your shoes and take your partners by the hand for another unforgettable night of music and dancing ‘1950s Country and Western’ style. The Green Fair marquee will be opening its canvas doors (next to the new Francis Peak Building, beside the car park in Dulwich Park) for the evenings ‘Swinging Hullabaloo’. It will be a barn dance with a difference (not in the traditional sense with a ‘caller’) - but one that invites it’s audience to hear the best Western Swing music this side of Texas and a chance to watch and join in with sensational dancers till the cows come home. Los Pistoleros – will be playing an upbeat mixture of Western Swing, Rhythm and blues, honky tonk, and cajun music. The band will be led by the legendary Bobby Valentino on vocals and fiddle (also a Clark Gable lookalike!), BJ Cole on the Pedal Steel, Jim Russell on drums, and Martin Belmont & Kevin Foster on Guitar.

DJ Big Green Trev will also be serenading the crowds with his sweet swinging folk tunes throughout the evening.

Event organiser Hayley Redmond says “Every year the Festival has a party to celebrate the success of the week’s events and over the past two year’s they have been sell out’s, as well as true communal experiences. Ticket holders always join in with the spirit of the occasion by taking time to dress up in their vintage attire (50s Country & Western this year) and making the most of the best in entertainment that never usually gets a chance to come to Dulwich. This year the Marquee will be styled as a country barn with lanterns and fairy lights, hay bales and a huge dance floor infront of the stage. Food and drink will also be served and prepared in the traditional country manner. It will be a stunner and I definitely reccommend buying tickets as soon as possible!”
