Return of the Gurkhas
Band of the Brigade of Gurkhas.
The band of the Brigade of Gurkhas come to Newmarket next month – making a return to the area after two years.
The concert takes place at Tattersalls Sale Ring on September14 at 2pm and is raising funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust.
The operational role of the musicians is medical assistants, for which they regularly train, and it was in this role that they served in the Gulf War of 1991 and more recently in Bosnia in 2000 and 2001 and Afghanistan in 2002.
Money raised from the Newmarket concert will go to the Gurkha Welfare Trust’s work in Nepal to relieve poverty-stricken Gurkhas and their dependents and to assist in paying a welfare pension of £27 a month to more than 10,000 ex-servicemen and widows.
Tickets for the concert are £10 for adults and £5 for children under 16 and are available from the band ticket office, 1 Mulberry Way, Ely, Cambs, CB7 4TH, telephone 01353 614134 or email haralsta@tiscali.co.uk
Country music, in the country
Los Pistolros.
This time last year, Paul Spencer stood at Easton Farm Park with a vision of putting on a music festival there. Now, he’s putting the finishing touches to his dream, which has become The Maverick Festival.
“I was at Easton Farm Park on a glorious, sunny day thinking it would be the perfect place for the festival,” said Paul, who lives nearby.
His dream of bringing Americana country music to Suffolk comes to life on the weekend of August 29 to 31 and, as well as British artists, he will be welcoming bands and singers from Nashville and Austin, in America.
Helped by his friend Ken Ansell, Paul has pulled together a wide variety of country musicians including Sam Baker, one of the leading lights in new country music.
Devon Sproule, pictured left, as seen on Later With Jools Holland, will perform, as will Los Pistolros, pictured right, who promise everything from western swing to Cajun.
The Maverick Festival will feature indoor and outdoor stages and a host of local food and drink.
Tickets are £35 for the weekend or £50 including camping, available from 01603 660352, www.ticketweb.com or by sending a cheque made payable to Claptrap TV to Claptrap TV, Easton, Woodbridge, Suffolk, IP13 0EJ.
