A rather prickly customer turned up at Thursday night’s brilliant rehearsal of the Royal Forest of Dean Orchestra – along with a few others! Bass player Gordon Bailey spotted a large hedgehog feasting on a big black slug just outside Newnham St Peter’s School where we rehearse. If you’re not prickly and you want to join us visit out website www.rfdo.org.uk
