The band plays a panto number
The Dove Players do Puss in Boots, Occold, Suffolk - 13th January 2024
It's the culmination of four months' rehearsal for the band and even longer for the cast as the Dove Players' production of Puss in Boots finally happens in Occold's village hall. For the first time the entire family is in on it: Isobel is playing Marjory Daws, Harry's playing the Chamberlain, Fred's in the panto band on flute, and somehow Nosher's on drums, with a first-ever live performance. The first 11 photos are Isobel's contribution.

Part of the set is rolled up
We start putting all the seats out

Joe and George - the guitar section
Harry gets a bit of make-up done
Fred does Origami with cat ears on
All the chairs are out and numbered
Holly applies some glitter to Isobel's cheek
There's a sound check with the radio mics
Isobel does her sound check
Fairy Nightingale on the stage
Will - as Gruesome - does a compedy gurn
Helen dishes out the pizzas
Fred looks like he's up to something
Fred roams around with some of Will's hot sauce
There's a karaoke moment
Harry shows off his medal
Isobel gets a bouquet of flowers
There's a bit more karaoke going on
