Isobel checks something out in the Hoxne Swan
Fred and the Orchestra, Snape Maltings, Suffolk - 5th April
Fred's at the end of his five-day residential at Framlingham College, which wraps up with an excellent performance of him and the rest of the Suffolk Youth Wind Orchestra - as well as the Suffolk Young Strings and the full Youth Orchestra - on stage at the world-famous Snape Maltings. There are also a few of Fred's own photos, and one pinched without guilt from the county music service's Facebook feed of one of the rehearsals, seeing as we weren't allowed to take our own at the gig. Before the concert, we head into Aldeburgh to get some fish and chips for Fred's pre-gig tea, and before even that, Nosher and Isobel cycle over to the Hoxne Swan for a couple of beers.

Fred gets a photo of his room
There's a quiz between the various 'houses'
We queue to order fish and chips in Aldeburgh
A mad ship's figurehead on the Golden Galleon
We wait outside the Golden Galleon
Harry and Isobel head back to the car
Isobel roams around with a bag of food
Fred gets a short break before the performance
Fred strides back to the rehearsal room
Harry's got a can of fizz on the go
Reeds, and the River Alde
A view of Snape Maltings from the river
A boardwalk heads off into the distance
Harry reads the dedications on the boardwalk
The reed beds, looking towards the coast
Crowds mingle before the performance
The stage is set
The SYWO are on stage at Snape Maltings
A view from the balcony
