Driving past Finchcocks museum of keyboard instruments today (just outside Goudhurst) I noticed a bright yellow sign that said "craft fair and folk festival Sunday 27th and Monday 28th May"

With a bit of internet trawling I have found out that the New Scorpion Bank (Tim Laycock Duet Concertina) are playing.

I don't know if they are the only act and too late for me as I have something else arranged but posting on here in case anyone else is interested.

Should add that the house and museum are interesting in there own right. I believe that it is the largest collection of historic pianos in the world and the great and good all flock there to play old pianos, harpsichords and the like.

There is also a barrel organ and the owner who is very eccentic took great delight in playing "speed the plough" last time I was there - you will be pleased to know that the tune has not altered at all in 200 years.
