Subject: RE: Magic Lantern show + music 19 Nov Sussex From: Valmai Goodyear Date: 16 Nov 10 - 03:31 AM Sorry, LesB, I had no intention of passing us off as Taffy Thomas's historic outfit - the magic lantern here is a solid Victorian object, not a band. We've done the show in several places now and it seems popular. As well as being an illustrated piece of local history, it takes traditional music to people who wouldn't otherwise hear it.
