We have a problem tomorrow in that Arthur is not able to take any photos of Tuesday's events and unfortunately I cannot stand in for him either this time. Svetlana is going to cover the Cream of Acoustic Soup at the Navigation. If there is anyone going to the Co-Op Fair Trade Wine Tasting or the Local Question Time at Marple College who can take some photos for the Virtual Tour it would be much appreciated please!

Actually, the Acoustic Soup event is at the Cricket Club, not the Navigation.

Thanks Howard, you're right - I misread the programme  :-[

A few more of Arthur's photos of the St Martins Musicfest have been added to the Virtual Tour this morning. These got missed by the pair of us but now bring the total number of images of the Festival to 349! Don't forget you can rate your favourite images and perhaps the most popular ones can be used for publicity next year.
