♫The Maverick concerts used to be at the Easton White Horse but the function room at the back of theFramlingham Crown is bigger and early last night promoter Paul Spencer was already jubilant at the near heaving turn out for his first show there.

♫ In the evening we went to Maverick's ranch party in Easton and got to see Norwich based Vagaband who over the past couple of years have polished up very nicely thank you. We love drummers who stand up ... especially when they use a box for their kick drum. Top of the bill Hank Wangford with his band including pedal steeler BJ Cole produced moments of pure country heaven.

Astoundingly the Easton pre-school second teddy jump was even more exciting than the first. Behind the recently refurbished village hall very young motorists were savouring the anticipation by crashing into each other with a polite Excuse me!
