♫ A joy last year were the mid-week afternoon Framlingham Concerts.  Well attended including school parties the zinging performances were from mostly younger players.  The shows return in March with Douglas Tang and Lasma Taimina and with a caffeine buzz from donated coffees we're really looking forward to their and other recitals.
