Thank’s Stef, for these photos of the Carnival.
Stef, (a.k.a. ‘that woman what took up with our Darryl’
, was given very short notice for this shoot and has done a cracking job.
Her Carnival photos can be seen on the gallery by clicking the ‘Album’ tab. Photographs

Just published the first batch of photos from the 4th Annual Bishops Cleeve Carnival held last Sunday.
As well as my own photos, there are more to come from Stef.
Meanwhile enjoy these: Photographs
Last night we went to see the amazing Robert Fripp, most famously known for being the guitarist for King Crimson. He was accompanied by flautist and saxophonist, Theo Travis, of The Soft Machine.
What made this a once in a lifetime experience was that it was in our local church, St Michael & All Angels, Bishop’s Cleeve! Having said that, it is the second time that we have been graced with his music.
The was an audience, (congregation?), of about 100 people listened in total silence as Robert and Theo filled the church with a soundscape of weaving loops and swirls of sounds gently sweeping around the speakers distributed around.
I have found this clip on YouTube, but in honesty, it does not really tell the full story.
The problem is, is that it WAS that once in a lifetime experience. Unique. The expression, “You had to be there”, does sum it up.
Remember this too when you listen to the clip, there are no other instruments except his guitar.
Where else could you sit 15 foot away from one of the greatest guitarists in the world, playing for just a small audience and for free?
Thanks to Pam and Richard Crook and of course the church for organising this truly spiritual experience.
After quite a while in the planning, at last we can look forwards to a new Folk Club in the Cheltenham area.
The venue is the Royal Oak pub in Bishops Cleeve.
The dates and times are yet to be confirmed but will be monthly on a Tuesday commencing around the end of June.
The host will be yours truly although I am currently looking for two other resident artists to share the presentation.
Any volunteers please contact me.
Watch this space for more details.
