Our first visit to Dinky Street kids role play centre Cheltenham | Review
Our first visit to Dinky Street kids role play centre Cheltenham | Review
Last week we visited the new Dinky Street kids role play centre near Cheltenham – it’s located in Bishops Cleeve 15 or so minutes away. This is the first place I’ve been like this and straight off I must say it was a fantastic hour and a half. The time flew by much like my phone did onto the floor! One cracked screen wasn’t enough to dampen our spirits though, and, the absolutely lovely ladies…

Roving Crows Live @ Tithe Barn, Bishops Cleeve 5/10/13
A MURDER OF CROWS settling in the Tithe Barn, Bishops Cleeve 05 October This night, a large gathering of feathered acolytes hovered and perched around this lovely old converted barn, awaiting their spiritual leaders, The Roving Crows. The Crows band were here to launch the new album 'DeliberateDistractions', a follow up to 'Bacchanalia', indeed it was from this album that the show burst into life. 'Days In The Sun', is an energetic fusion of folk with a bit of Eastern promise thrown in. From start, the whole gathering was moving as one, the contagion was instant and highly infectious. Adding to the party delirium came nights of wine with 'Nancy Valentine', from the new DD album. So it went throughout the evening without pausing for breath, hopping from the appropriately named Bacchanalia, diverted to a Deliberate Distraction. The hugely popular, Celtic influenced 'White Petticoat', brought Irish jigs to the floor, had Michael Flatley arrived? Its impossible to keep still to this instrumental behemoth, Caitlin's fiddle taking the lead, with Greg Wilson's trumpet sneaking in. How to follow that, 'Weather' rumbled in from 'DD', wonderfully atmospheric drums from Tim Tolhurst, open this dark haunting song, which I particularly like, perhaps it reflects my soul. As does the Gregorian Chant opening and underpinning of the superb 'Journeyman's Blues'. So at some point we (Helen & me) were exposed as 'virgin crows', perhaps the only ones owning up to having never being exposed to this 'pecking order' of band and adherents. I was subjected to the awesome power of the sign of the crow, before the evening could proceed any further. No matter I had already been intoxicated by the fusion of sounds pulled from all styles of music, North African, Asian, New Orleans, Eastern European, and Caribbean all laced together with Irish spirit. 'Guns' lulls our senses, but as the crows rise and circle, Caitlin stirs the air with her fiddle, driving all before. The Roving Crows excelled this evening, a partisan crowd, yes, but there is no denying the onset of drunken (not necessarily literally) hedonistic pleasure to be experienced at this party. The warm vocals of Paul, fabulous fiddling from Caitlin, Greg's tantalising trumpet trips, Loz Shaw, bass rhythms and the rumblings of Tim's percussion, all combine to produce an unforgettable musical confection that’s hard to resist. I am not a fan of folk music in its purest sense, but I do like a good party atmosphere, and the Crow's provide this in spades, I will certainly be back for more. Words & Photos Graham Munn
