Back in my student days I used to live behind a library which was owned by an ex-Polytechnic University. One day, library staff decided to have a spring-clean and filled a skip with lots of old books, slides, tapes and records from the 1970′s. Gleefully, I joined several other students in rummaging through the contents of the skip much to the amusement of the Security Staff.
Among the booty was this fantastic record from 1978 – ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Favour’ – a play for actors and orchestra by Tom Stoppard and André Previn. Among the cast were Patrick Stewart and Ian Mckellen.

The Hobby Horse Festival in Banbury is a relatively recent creation, having started a decade ago in the year 2000. It is based around the English nursery rhyme: ‘Ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross, to see a fine lady upon a white horse; rings on her fingers and bells on her toes and she shall have music wherever she goes.
