Message from Liz about the Long Ashton gigs:

Thanks to all those who played the Long Ashton’s this weekend. Heather is writing a mail about the Harvest supper, but I wanted to add that on both days we played confidently and rhythmically, particularly the Laurel arrangements which seem to be lifting our playing.

Long Ashton Apple Day was pleasing for me because it was so much better in terms of BVB presentation than last year – a visible improvement – specially thanks to Lyn for getting folk into their places and to Heather for her persuasiveness on the dance floor. The organiser Sam was very pleased with the way BVB attacked a crowd that sat and listened!

£30 at each gig for BVB funds – and rock cakes and apple crumble to boot – good job and best wishes.
