Silly season is here! As the scintillating sun spreads its spiffy solar toastiness over the chimneypots of Hackney and beyond, barbecues are barbecuing, World Cups are World Cupping and oh my the barrels are a-rolling.
It's going to be a momentous, rambunctious few months, lords and ladies, and we can barely contain our frivolity as we present to you our Knees Up bill of fare for the season, and declare the Summer of Knees Up Fever open!
