Hitchin’s Hermitage Road was the place to be at the weekend as Gatefold Records hosted World Food and Music Day as part of the town’s ongoing festival.
The popular record store played host to the event that featured DJs playing music from around the world on Saturday.
Cult Hitchin style-icon and hairdresser Felix Camfield-Walker, owner of Farley’s Hair Emporium a few doors down, was on the decks spinning ska tunes, afrobeat, old-skool hip hop and Nigerian disco.
The afternoon also featured the mouth-watering falafel dishes of Hitchin chef Martin Burke as part of his pop-up middle eastern street food kitchen, as well as summer punch and craft beers.
Jak Uttley, joint owner of Gatefold with his partner Nicola Uttley, said afterwards: “Thank you to everyone who made our World Food and Music Day a huge success and awesome fun.”
And Felix tweeted: “Japes. Thanks to all that came down.”
