1999 Clayton Moore, the Lone Ranger, died aged 85

Now that really is regrettable. For five years Peppery Productions have been bringing pleasure and a little bit of life (not too much mind you, this is Suffolk) to near the coast but Sunday afternoon will be their last gig at the Easton Farm Park shed. Topping are Slovenian band Terrafolk supported by Sargasso Trio.

1961 Gary Cooper (super duper) died

A giant of English traditional music Eliza Carthy will be at Easton Farm Park this Friday. It'll be a quartet with drums and bass so don't let your musical prejudices get in the way, she kicks botty.

1937 Nylon patented

There were enough musicians last night in the Easton Shed to field two football teams, indeed Fiona nearly ran out of bottled water for them. Goldmaster Allstars had more guitarists and wittily encored with the theme from Get Carter (we found it irritatingly familiar and had to ask to put a name to it). Ska Cubano were Cuban(ish), more show biz and we almost fell in love with Megumi Mesaku doubling alto and bari but felt we must remain true to Miss Olga . Lots of lovely woofy electric double bass from both bands and again a thoroughly good night but like Kasaï Masaï there could have been a few more of you in the audience.
