The Suffolk Youth Wind Orchestra at the Suffolk Show, Trinity Park - 1st June 2023

Fred and the rest of the Suffolk Youth Wind Orchestra are playing a couple of one-hour sets on the last day of the Suffolk Show. As a result, we get a complimentary ticket, and as Harry and Fred are both free anyway, it proves to be quite a cheap day out. There's a lot to see, and this year we get to look at a bit more of the animal stuff and the events in the showrings, in-between the musical sessions.

next album: Oaksmere Classic Cars, Brome, Suffolk - 4th June 2023
previous album: A Quest for the Fabled Swimming Spot, Hoxne, Suffolk - 29th May 2023
