'The Fiddler of the Reels'

A tour led by Dr Tony Fincham, this will be a musical exploration of the territory where Mop Ollamoor exercised his acoustic magnetism over Car'line Aspent: two miles walking from The Traveller's Rest (Duck Dairy Farm) above the Frome to Lower Mellstock and on to Stinsford Church, with dancing as appropriate to the fiddles of Wessex folk musicians Ruth and Colin Thompson, who will recreate the tunes of this 'village Paganini'.

Tickets are 12 for non-THS-conference delegates. To book a place or for more information please contact Mike Nixon, THS Secretary, on 01305 251501, or email: info@hardysociety.org
