29 Mar 2013:  MORRIS DANCERS ON TELLY! DROP EVERYTHING!!!
The Shropshire Bedlams and Martha Rhoden's Tuppenny Dish will be dancing - and eating - on Thursday April 4th in the Shropshire edition of "Ade in Britain" on ITV, at 4.00 p.m.

The teams were filmed in The National Trust's beautiful Cardingmill Valley, near Church Stretton, when the exceptionally pleasant Adrian Edmondson and his team visited the county last year. You might recognise a face or two amongst those involved, despite the cunning disguise, and even if you don't, try to catch some of this delightful series about the strange traditions that can be found in all corners of Britain.

19 Feb 2013:  PRICES IN THE SHOP
GOOD NEWS - Jump into Spring with the fabulous John Kirkpatrick Tune Book "Jump At The Sun" at its new reduced price of just £10.00 (was £13.00). With over 130 tunes packed within its pages, they work out at just over 7 pence each - and some of them must be worth at least that much!

BAD NEWS - For some time now we've been charging less for our postal rates than we should have, and now that the national charges have gone up yet again, we've had no choice but to increase our postage and packing charges in the SHOP. This is added on automatically when you buy, so there's no need to worry - just let our glorious system do the worrying for you!

The SHOP is open all day every day, and if our operatives are already busy with other customers, we absolutely guarantee that we will not play you endless ghastly music interrupted by constant reassurances of how sorry we are to keep you waiting!

31 Jan 2013:  BRASS MONKEY - "THE BEST OF LIVE"
