Weds 2nd
'Local Fossils' by Chris Paul, Lyme Regis Museum: All talks all start at
11.00am. Only cost is the normal museum admission charge.
'The Wurzels' The
Wurzels are the leading British Scrumpy and Western band, fusing comical
folk-style songs full of double entendre with affectionate parodies of more
mainstream musical genres, all delivered in broad Zummerset. The band is best
known fo its 1976 number-one hit The Combine Harvester, but has a
history stretching back nearly 40 years. Joining in with their rousing songs
is a part of the great tradition of a Wurzel night, so make sure you know all
the words to Blackbird and
Cider Drinker.
