Fair Trade All Dayer Gig on Sunday 9th April 2006
de.bees Music Bar, Winsford, Cheshire, UK
".....After a breather in the late afternoon, the Fair Trade event was back for its second phase at 7pm with an eclectic line up of bands playing various forms of world music.

The four musicians took to the stage in rainbow-coloured shirts and performed a medley of salsas and calypsos on a range of instruments which included a tuba, saxophones, penny whistles, hand percussion and the occasional plastic clarinet.

Adam's narrowboat adventure October 2005
By Working Lunch presenter Adam Shaw (writing about a session which the Working Lunch crew happened upon one Sunday night in The King's Lock public house, Middlewich, Cheshire, UK, whilst filming a 5-day narrow boat journey for the programme.)
".... But in the pub by the lock, I had one of my best evenings.
The locals bring their instruments - saxophones, fiddle, squeeze boxes and the like and sing for each other.
Well you couldn't get me away. Even mild mannered Rob, the director, got involved. I had an absolutely fantastic evening.
It's amazing what talent people have and it was wonderful to see an unassuming group of people play so beautifully just for each other's enjoyment.
If it wasn't so far away, I would pop down for a sing song....."Video clip from the programme coming soon
