''We had a great time, with a very receptive audience who were very ready to join in for our last dance. The whole event was well organised, we were kept informed from the first enquiry to the day of the event. There was a good programme of shows and performers and a great range of stalls and refreshments. We'd love to come back again. ''

"The Tottenham Riverfest is a great example of community outreach. There are so many talented people in Tottenham and it was a great place to showcase them."

‘We were thrilled to be invited to be a part of the fantastic Riverfest in Tottenham this year. It is rare for us to get to play a free family show, especially one right by our stomping ground, and the whole event was absolutely brilliant. We were bowled over by the families, kids, parents and grandparents alike who came up to us at the end to say hi; some kids talked about how seeing the live bands on the day made them want to learn a musical instrument, or practice the one they already played even more, and there is no greater compliment! We wish the festival every success, and hope to be able to work with the brilliant Cheryl and Glynis again soon. Thanks for having us, for supporting live music and working with local musicians, all in the name of a great cause.'

“Every community needs a Tottenham Ploughman! Since 2014, we’ve seen new-born babies grow into toddlers and socially likeminded customers become our friends. We love being a part of it. Long may it continue!”

''The festival this year was a complete delight, lots of fun, food and great community feeling. Bob's crayfish boil was a particular highlight, we ate until we were full to bursting and the crayfish kept coming! It was our first time at the festival (after five years living in the area), and we'll be back again next year for more of the same. ''
