King’s Coronation celebration, The Angel, Lavenham

O.K, so there are times when you just can’t get the right weather for your celebration, and this was one of those occasions. We guessed we would get some rain during the day; we just didn’t realise quite how long the rain would last. But never mind! This was Lavenham and they are the kind of people not deterred by a downpour. We know this because we have played there many times now, sometimes in the depths of winter and we have always had a great crowd. Colin depped for John on the bass and we kept on playing and the people kept on dancing. The very thoughtful landlord of The Angel provided Pac-A-Macs for the audience and top-up drinks for us throughout the gig, for which we were very grateful. We hope to see you all again next year!
