Our CD, Blueprint
We’re running low on stocks of our CD, so just looking into getting a new more copied. If you haven’t got your copy yet, then you can order it here… And rehearsals are going well. Watch this space for announcements about where we’re next appearing!
Where does the time go?
Yes, where indeed? The last posting I put up here was June of 2016! Agh! The reason is that we’ve been busy with the “Hopping Down in Kent” project, a folk opera that me (Bob) and Dave concocted. It’s been great fun – and we want to do summat similar (more on that later), but […]
