Great Day in Leicester at Riverside Festival
Black Annis enjoyed dancing at the lively and busy The Riverside Festival on Saturday 6 June. We were just one on many attractions at the festival,( which included fairground rides, craft stalls, boat rides and canal boats, as well as plenty of live music) so were pleased to be able to attract a crowd.
