The cops's knife amnesty bin is outside the Halesworth police station today.

We fulsomely enjoyed on the wireless Hugh Bonneville performing A Short Gentleman which includes Aldeburgh as a setting.  Saturday in the Halesworth Cut there's a one off of the comedy performed by Michael Fenton Stevens who for us will always be Radio Active's Martin Brown from hospital radio.

♫ Last night Dr Feelgood rocked the Halesworth Cut with a full house that was just bursting to dance and did.  More Cut concerts early in the new year include Tom Robinson, Andy Fairweather Low and The Low Riders, and the Soft Machine.

♫ We saw the masterful Dr Feelgood maybe 15 years ago somewhere near Stowmarket and yes we did buy the t-shirt.  Tonight they bring their Canvey Island rocking goodness to the Halesworth Cut.

That's a very great pity, local hardware shop chain Coopers will cease trading and its six shops including Halesworth, Leiston and Framlingham close 3pm today.

♫ A long way off but still this year autumnal bookings for the Halesworth Cut include Eddi Reader (Fairground Attraction in another life) and the seemingly immortal Dr Feelgood ... saw them certainly this century and bought the t-shirt.

We like the dry witty tones of Roger Allum speaking the dry witty words of Jan Etherington in Conversations from a Long Marriage.  Tomorrow a Jan Etherington double double header at the Halesworth Cut in aid of the Pear Tree Fund.
