A fine concert last night from the
Suffolk Singers in the Debenham
Leisure Centre. The choir has a healthy number of
male voices giving the sound weight and some of the
arrangements were an entertainment in themselves. The show
along with a cake sale and raffle raised funds for
Age UK.

night we picked our way through the flooded roads to Crow's Hall
Debenham for a black tie concert performance of
The Barber of Seville and how glad we are we did.
Crow's Hall is exquisite and the singers of London Festival
Opera were joyful plus occasional gigantic overhead thunderclaps
gave opportunity for impromptu humour from the stage.

Mr and Mrs Hugh Creighton have lived
in Lacey Cottage on that nasty corner in
Earl Soham for 26
years. Hugh has been and then not
been a parish councilor. They have
raised three daughters, seen
the Falcon, Thorolds the corner shop
and the post office (after over a
century) close, Tastebuds open become
Eat Anglia and then close, and Earl
Soham Brewery move from Maurices's
chicken shed to the garage and then to
Debenham. We're surprised
there hasn't been more change in 26
years ... at the end of the month they
move to the south coast.

What an nice change to have some half way decent weather
yesterday for Mouth to Mouth's production of the musical
Godspell in the Debenham Angel's

The dress rehearsal yesterday afternoon in Debenham
of The Keeper's Daughter's
production of Dracula was very impressive. Everything
moved along at a good pace, jokes, pretty girls, scares (of
course) and impressively the five handed cast manage their own
tech too. They are out on the road round

them. More pix on

Central Suffolk Labour candidate
Bhavna Joshi (without her red handbag) told the school she's
32, the first person in her family to go to University and her
grandmother is illiterate.
Head teacher Mike Crawshaw told us he hears
continual election chatter in the corridors with the Lib-Dem's
rocket ship impression the hot topic. He must be gratified
by the informed questions asked by the students after Bhavna's
pitch.

there was much talk of loudspeakers and loudspeaker people.
Substantial, well presented meals were enjoyed along with well kept
Adnams. Thankfully the sound on the wide screen telly was off
and it was our fault for sitting under the occasionally booming
Wharfedale speaker. John B arrived later for a drink and to
tell us the new lad at the brewery plays in the Great Yarmouth brass
band.
