Fred's at the new Astra-Zeneca building
An Orchestral Big Play Day, Risby, Suffolk - 4th July 2026
There's a "Big Play Day" in the enormous Risby village hall which is made up of the three Dust It Off orchestras from Norwich, Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds, plus anyone else who fancies having a go. Nosher gets a lift from Frances and Brian from the Gislingham Silver Band, who also suppied the tip-off, for a full-on afternoon of playing the trumpet - rather than the usual cornet - followed by a short performance of four of the best pieces. Before that, Fred's doing work experience for a civil engineering company, which takes him to the new Astra-Zeneca building near Addenbrooke's in Cambridge, and then the BSCC is once more out to the White Horse at Thelnetham.

Fred on a building roof in Cambridge
A solitary glass of wine in the sunset
Isobel sends a photo of the house from 'Kin'
The boys outside the White Horse, Thelnetham
The road back to Hinderclay
The White Horse pub
Fred does a bit of weightlifting
The Boy Phil heads off
Fred and Gaz outside the pub
The solar farm is up and running at Gressingham
Gaz and Phil in Wortham
Fred's on his phone somewhere
We stop off at the Railway Tavern in Mellis
The Dust It Off orchestra assembles
Brian from the GSB
It's time for an afternoon snack break
The dude from Harlow takes a break
In Risby's giant village hall
There are at least eight cellos
There's an audience for the afternoon performance
Frances and Vicky from the GSB chat
