Little Burstead, Billericay

This week's event is a wild and whacky take on the village summer get-together delayed because of you-know-what! Take one field, a gathering of tents and barbecues, people out for a good time, and us providing the music, and you have an idea of the annual get-together in this close-knit village. Back after two years we had a great time! Roger, the organiser, had the brilliant idea of combining summer, Guy Fawkes and Christmas all in one with fireworks, a novel rendering of ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ and a good old hoe-down with ukes. We even had a couple of coloured drones sparking fireworks (although I think that was coming from another event). We ended the evening with a massive ring of people all extolling the virtues of ‘New York, New York’. I love the quirkiness of it – where else would someone win a cucumber in a raffle?
