♫ Oh Joy!  The Framlingham Chamber Concerts return this Spring starting Wednesday with a recital by violinist Lasma Taimina and pianist Doulas Tang.

The year moves on, the Sunday after next the clocks go forward. 

Roughcast Theatre's tribute to the late Tom Stoppard is touring two one act plays The Real Inspector Hound and A Separate Peace starting Thursday at the Diss Corn Hall.  The company continues to look for a man with a van who would smile upon their theatrical endeavours.

Planning a witch ducking this spring?  Or perhaps a trial by fire for an estate agent?  You're welcome to promote it on here.

Our grateful thanks to the George Farnham Gallery Saxmundham for a generous handful of coffees.  As the gallery's newsletter points out their current show has original artworks for under £100.

 BE WARNED  Today is Mother's Day and she'll know if you bought the flowers in a garage on the way over ... and what if the garage has sold out ...

Despite Thursday night's winds a very decent turnout at the Printroom Sweffling for Sound Beginnings.  Composer and presenter John Mercer will be forever blessed for pointing out John Cage on 1960s tv and afterwards there was great cake.

Astonisher No.69 (supplemental):  Bonnie and Clydes's death car with only half a windscreen and only a partial steering wheel driving the 50 odd miles drive from Arcadia to Shreveport couldn't have been a comfortable journey for Ruth Warren.

Today is the second of three Friday the 13ths this year.

The year moves on, next Friday is the Spring Equinox.

We may have missed Art East's private view at DanceEast Ipswich but there's drinks 6pm tomorrow week for their Spring Show.

♫ In May at the Snape Maltings the Beccles Choral Society, the Phoenix Singers and the Lambeth Orchestra come together to perform Elgar's The Dream of Gerontius.

Suffolk Overheard: (in Aldeburgh ... it would be) ... and this is our Grand Atrium, I like to think it's cosy.

♫ This year's 19th Easton Maverick Festival is appropriately on Independence Day weekend with a lineup including the all male Rose's Pawn Shop plus double swamp dancing from the Cajun Roosters and Cajun Royale .  As always it will be a delight and they are due another endlessly sunny one.

Oh poo!  We've missed Art East's private view last week at DanceEast in Ipswich but thankfully their Spring Show runs until 12 April so plenty of opportunity.

7pm tonight for an hour is the weekly non-competitive friendly kick about at Thomas Mills Framlingham.

Yesterday pleasantly busy in the George Farnham Gallery Saxmundham for the private view of Hilary Garner and Norma Read's show Light and Colour 26.  Across the road in the social bar Steve Peck took time from liaising about hosting an upcoming wedding to tell us they have taken over the Laxfield Royal Oak.

Our thanks to the Walpole Old Chapel for a generous handful of coffees.  A whole bunch of musical events upcoming at the venue this summer. ♫

The George Farnham Gallery Saxmundham will be private viewing 11am-2pm today with drinks and nibbles Light and Colour 26.
