Fred outside Wood, Wind and Brass on Russell Street
Saxophone Shopping in Cambridge - 21st March 2026
Fred's got a grant from Ed Sheeran to buy a new saxophone, so in order to make sure he doesn't spend it on something else we do an emergency trip to Cambridge as that's the nearest musical-instrument shop to us since Balaam's in Bury St. Edmunds closed down. After the purchase, we wander around town for a bit, get lunch just off the market place, and visit Fopp Records on Sydney Street for some old-school CDs. After we get back, we meet up with Rachel and Andrew for a couple of beers in the Oaksmere.
