Editor's Notebook

Bury St Edmunds is a centre for music. I took this image on a Wednesday market day in March. All our street musicians are very well respected and supported. The music comming from this gentleman and his harp was a sheer delight. For many years we were honoured by Les, a clarinettist, who had lived in a forest in the West Midlands with his brother after the Second World War. He did farmwork to buy his firsr musical instrument. Les started his musical career as a street musician outside the Corn Exchange in Bury St Edmunds. He told me his first earned coin simply rolled down the street. The landlady of the Nutshell Pub retrieved the coin and gave him an old bar mat for people to put their cons on. A portrate of Les is to be found in The Abbey Hotel in Southgate Street.
