\"Christmas<\/p>\n

On Saturday the Mrs Mills Experience<\/a> were\u00a0invited back<\/a> to play the Roman Road\u00a0street\u00a0market in London’s East End, this time to entertain the shoppers before the Christmas lights were turned on.<\/p>\n

A variety of street performers kept passers by happy, ready for the big switch on at 3pm.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

We played the\u00a0market\u00a0a few weeks ago<\/a> for the Mary Portas Channel Four TV programme, and it was great to be back, even if the temperatures were perilously close to zero.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

They’d hired in a snow machine to bring in a bit of Christmas atmosphere and I can’t even explain how much I want one of these for our gig at the Brixton Albert on the 21st December!<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

The town crier was\u00a0employed\u00a0to below and holler at shoppers, and did a very good job of it.<\/p>\n

\"Roman<\/p>\n

I think it’s fair to say that the celeb chosen to turn on the\u00a0lights\u00a0wasn’t\u00a0exactly\u00a0‘A’ list, although he seemed a perfectly decent chap.<\/p>\n

Clutching the mic above is Gary Lucy<\/a>, best known for his roles as DC Will Fletcher on ITV ‘s The Bill, Kyle Pascoe on Footballers’ Wives and Luke Morgan on the soap opera, Hollyoaks.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/p>\n

The lights are on!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately we had to bugger off sharpish to get the van back, so I didn’t get chance to capture the market lights in all their modest glory, but I warmly recommend you pop along and take a look. It’s a\u00a0lovely\u00a0market\u00a0with\u00a0really friendly traders.<\/p>\n
