When it comes to Market Festivals, most of the items displayed are very colourful.
Had been to the Randolph street Market Festival last weekend and it was the perfect weather to stroll around in the sun.
Got to see some antique stuff, like a box full of radio valves (or are they TV valves) I can’t make out, but brought back memories of having to put on the radio and wait for all the valves to heat up so that we could hear some songs.
This transistor radio was not overly priced, so I presume its not a working model.
There was this “Stereo record player” and a collection of records. Some of the records were priced under a dollar.
There must be some meaning to these birds in the olden day globes
Saw this old poster of James Bond’s first movie and by the time I was ready to click it, the poster was already sold.
Had a chat with the guy who bought it and he was all game to pose with it. He said that he is yet to see the movie and bought the poster for his Dad who was a James Bond fan. I told him that I too was a fan and that Sean Connery was the best James Bond so far.
A table had a display of many tools used by carpenters and plumbers.
But I was intrigued by the odd shaped teeth that was on this saw. Wonder what it was used for......
Some colourful paintings of Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix.
And some musicians with their instruments
Talking of musicians, there was a band playing the good old numbers especially from the 50s and the 60s I was impressed by their music and their retro attire.

The mic too that they used were from the fifties. You can hear some of the songs and tunes in the video

A fun busy people filled day! I love rummaging through old stuff.
I used to live visiting such events not anymore, collecting materialistic stuff can be overwhelming after a certain age, nevertheless it is fun to enjoy! ok
I would love this event. Great stuff and no doubt, a great time!
Gorgeous! :-)
Greetings from London.
What fun! A blast from the past!
Great post, Joe.
Who doesn't love a street festival! Thanks for sharing.
The most I liked was the musical band.
The way they were so enthusiastic in it
Hardly any crowd in front of them. Really professional.
Enjoyed every tiny detail captured by you Joe. Reminded me of the flea market in Goa.These markets are opportunities where one can get a part for an antique or one might even get somethings which are not made now. The band is awesome. Enjoyed reading your post Joe - thanks a ton.
OMG! I could hang out at a place like this all day. In fact, they'd have to kick me ouT(lol) So many cool collectibles, lovely art and great people would just be so amazing! I want to be there right now!(lol) Hugs...RO
When I was a young apprentice, in the telephone engineering industry, back in the mid 60’s. Transistors had only just come in we were still using valves. A portable radio had a battery that weighed in at around a kilo! - Howard
Festivals are fun events, lots to see. I used to have a radio like the one pictured, it lasted for years.
What a fun market festival! So many different activities!
You got some great pictures and it looked like people were having a good time.
Those paintings are wonderful.
All the best Jan

Thanks Joe! It seemed like a lot of fun. Enjoy - Vijayalakshmi Menon
would have loved to own those paintings of Marley and Hendrix and the musicians!
Lovely photos. I love this market with old fashioned things.
When I got rid of all our old records, my youngest son looked at one and was puzzled: "What is that - like a big black CD?" Hahaha.
