In Easton the Maverick Festival is always a joy even when the weather isn't perfect.  Regrettably there's had to be a change to the bill this weekend but we'll be looking forward to seeing Don Gallardo plus the Henry Brothers and peeps new to us we don't know we like yet. ♫

Some date confusion over this week's Framlingham swift walk?
