In 2016 Suffolk Police displayed to the press some of the huge firearms and ammo cache that had been found in Wyverstone.  Six years later we have licensed a good handful of our pix  from the press day to tv production company Brown Bob who plan to include the case in new prog Big Little Crimes for BBC1.

♫ We don't like to think how long since we last visited the Rumburgh Buck.  Tomorrow soul and blues band Otters Pocket will be playing there at the pub's free mini beer festival.

The Suffolk Festival celebrates the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a Torch Relay ... wonder where they got the idea.  Next month the relay wanders around the county for nearly three weeks taking in places that certainly we haven't heard off and we suspect many of you haven't either.  The route flirts with near the coast 24-26 May but gives it proper attention 29-31.

♫ Saturday the Pakefield Singers present at St Mary's Halesworth Faure’s Requiem and the Pergolesi Stabat Mater, under 16s free.

Man arrested after firearms, ammo and explosives were found in Great Livermere (it's the other side of Bury).  Disturbing but doesn't sound like another Operation Cannington.

Tristam Cary was highly influential in British electronic music.  In late 1962 he moved to Wood Farm Fressingfield where he created an electronic music studio.  In 1969 with Peter Zinovieff and David Cockerell he formed Putney based EMS to produce the UK's first commercial synthesiser most successful as the VCS3.  (in 1971 we got to play with one (or possibly a VCS2) for a weekend leading to near permanent withdrawal symptoms).  In 1974 Cary moved to Australia to teach.  Anyone in Fressingfield remember him? ♫

Combining a professional forager and a visual artist might be called multimedia.  It's what Suffolk Artlink are doing in the Woodbridge Community Hall from with the free penultimate session Sound and Drawing this Thursday.

Ministry of Defence police and a police helicopter involved after a three vehicle ram raid on the Brandon Co-op yesterday, Brandon's in Suffolk if only just.  In Edendale a van driver knocked down by a car after a dispute is being treated as assault.
