How Green is My Valley or is skiffle piffle?

 The Broxbourne Green Party tries to widen its appeal by doing the occasional walk/social.  It is always a nice occassion as they are nice people and it is good to spend social time together.   However, so far we have still failed to attract more than a few people along.  This months walk in conjunction with the Big Green Walk was no exception which is a shame as it cleverly combined very little walking through the very green Lea Valley along with stops for lunch, afternoon tea before culminating at the live music exhibition at the Lowewood Museum. Lowewood Museum.    Cliff Richard was amongst a number of local musicians who went on to work in the industry,  he was not there at the musuem, but one who had worked with the Kinks was . The musuem had somehow got people like him back in touch with former band members and they had played live at the museum in conjunction with a little exhibition about the early days of Skiffle and boys bands in Hertfordshire.  Really fun and interesting stuff.

Another lovely musical event locally was the Julie Fowlis concert in Hertfordshire. I have only just discovered one of the local churches has got some top notch folk musicians in,  it had a homely feel to it, but then this stunning music.
