Valley Beats

My first ever 'gig' with Valley Beats samba band, at Penistone Gala! A baptism of fire really - it involved processing, which is quite a challenge while carrying - and playing - a big bass surdo (drum). Then a set on the gala field, followed by a 'joining in' session. Good fun!
Thanks to Katie, our band leader, who took the photo - I'm in there somewhere!

In the evening, MrM was playing guitar with Al's Django Party at Nowhere, a café bar in Holmfirth. I went along too, to take a few photos and videos, and to enjoy a couple of ciders. It was proper still cider, fermented locally, most enjoyable...
