The beautiful village of Tanworth in Arden.

The arrow points to a long closed post office

No wonder it closed. The demand for Ivy must be quite low.

Another vacant shop in the village. Victim of the move to supermarkets.

They still have a red telephone kiosk though

A feast of musical opportunities

Everything was provided free.

I felt very uneasy about several male musicians wearing their hats in the church!

James Edge takes the stage.

James Edge. IMHO certainly one to watch for in the future.

The organiser of the whole event - Denise Offringa. You deserve to appear but you didn't stand still long enough in the dimly lit church to enable me to catch a non-blurred shot... sorry.

Sound engineer Peter Rice receives justified applause for his work on setting up the PA system for all the musicians.

A quiet corner at Hollyhock Cottage in Tanworth in Arden

Nick Drake's gravestone. Although I belive he was cremated!

It lies adjacent to an oak tree

A plea for sanity.
