mo 23 Feb 2015 | The DAB (digital) radio network is to get 182 new transmitters with near the coast benefiting from new transmitters at Aldeburgh and Blythburgh. Picking the bones out of a government document is an unsatisfying experience and we can't find a date for these two newbies beyond completion of all by 30 September 2016. |
th 20 Nov 2014 | The trick to finding the Aldeburgh Community Centre (a local community centre for local communities) entrance is it's round the back. Once we'd worked that out we found it crammed with help organisations and charities though the police easily |

mo 23 Jun 2014 | ♫ In Aldeburgh yesterday we got see the Broadside Boys for the first time and though they weren't dressed Suffolk their anthem Suffolk Punch was suitably and rousingly patriotic. They were part of the Aldeburgh Festival's Musicircus which is maybe a 100 bands of absolutely all flavours playing close by each other along the front and it is absolutely all flavours; school choirs, string quartets, ukes, a Hendrix wannabe, a folk quartet with the melody taken by children's tinkle bells, three vibraphones and a drummer playing latin-american ... absolutely everything and it was wonderful. |

mo 13 May 2013 | We were surprised when Argo won Bafta best film back in February and we didn't get to see it in Aldeburgh (love sitting there doing nothing waiting for the film to start). Brundish are showing it this Thursday as the last film of their winter season ... looks a bit American. Is it us or are trailers getting longer? |
mo 1 Apr 2013 ![]() | ♫Police Dog Hogan are a seriously creative, original and witty Americana seven piece that will overcome your prejudices about 'Country' (are you listening Radio Stradbroke?). They are playing the Aldeburgh Pump House at the end of the month and though the Pump House is perfectly formed it is tiny, better book early. |
th 14 Mar 2013 | BE WARNED the police will be speed checking in Valley Road Leiston, and North Warren and Leiston Rd in Aldeburgh. |
sa 16 Feb 2013 | ♫Last night the Aldeburgh Pumphouse had its own restorated (we've been spending a lot of time with community information officers recently) petite charm and an impromptu but fully functioning bar. SOLD OUT it was packed for a pop up Maverick concert from the Henry Brothers (who allegedly have added a jolly song to their set) and Vagaband (who just keep getting tighter) ... reckon it should be a more of a standing audience for Police Dog Hogan in April ... but then what do we know.♫ |
sa 9 Feb 2013 | To honour Aldeburgh Cinema's chief projectionist Neville Parry's 80th birthday there's a 3pm showing today of The Smallest Show On Earth on traditional 35mm film probably complete with scratches. |

fr 14 Sep 2012 | We can understand peeps objecting to Aldeburgh's Scallop because it breaks up an unbroken vista but it does cause a lot of interest ... but then so does fraud, MP's expenses and a ginger at a Las Vegas party. |
mo 10 Sep 2012 ![]() | We thought it something when we got to see reigning world road race champion Thor Hushovd on Suffolk roads at Framsden last year but yesterday on the Aldeburgh-Thorpeness road we got to see British reigning world champion Mark Cavendish and Tour de France winner Brad Wiggins, that won't happen again in a hurry. Loads of spectators (nothing like being on telly to make people think something is interesting) and the many police motorcyclists enjoying their celebrity by waving at the spectators. Coverage of the tour all week on ITV4. |
mo 18 Jun 2012 | The Aldeburgh tortoise has found its way home. |
th 14 Jun 2012 | Early Tuesday morning in Aldeburgh cigarettes were stolen, it's becoming quite the trending crime near the coast ... perhaps hashtag fagblag? |

fr 13 Apr 2012 ![]() | Five years ago today Framlingham's last community copper Andrea Honeywood retired and was replaced by a Safer Neighbourhood Team. Nowadays the Fram SNT (and we bet most people still don't know what that means) has merged with Saxmundham and Aldeburgh and is commanded by a sergeant in Leiston ... he probably has a satnav. |
