Members of the HotHouse Big Band and Screaming Kicks. The latter band are giving concerts in New York for ten days beginning Sunday 1st April 2012.

A challenge to get any images at all in All Saints' Church. Many shot at ISO 6400. Slight noise reduction in Camera Raw. Collage created in Picasa, so some of the images have been "trimmed" by that programme.

Aston on Trent Well Dressing Festival 9th and 10th July 2011
This is where a Derbyshire tradition is celebrated and this event raises money this year for the Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance (DLRAA) & Aston Playground Project. There were live bands, children's entertainment, a fancy dress competition and stalls.

The main well dressing celebrating memories of childhood, the motifs depicting some of the characters from that time in our lives.

This well dressing created by the talented members of the Aston on Trent Women's Institute depicts characters from "The Wizard of Oz"

Luciano Pavarotti is depicted in this well dressing.

In the May 2011 Derbyshire Life magazine there is an article that has been written about Aston on Trent. In the article it mentions a book, Moments in Time, that I published for the Aston on Trent History Group, the cover is shown below. Website here.

I was asked by the author of the article if I would mind if the magazine used one of my photographs, I agreed and sent the first photograph, shown below, which was cropped as per the second photograph, presumably to fit the available space in the article.
