“Hon, I’m not so sure that I’m in the right place? Am I meant to be parked up in a field?”
Hey, it was a fair enough text. I mean it’s not every day you accept an invite to a Tuesday night gig to watch a band billed as ‘the next big thing” and then find yourself on a farm in the middle of nowhere.
But sure enough, my fab friend Hannah was indeed parked up in the right place; a field in the grounds of the stunning Eggbeer Farm and the brand new location for The Loft Barbers Live Sessions.

Tony Hogg has today announced that he will not seek re-election as police and crime commissioner for Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly next May.
Mr Hogg, who was elected in November 2012, says he is proud of his achievements during 32 months in office.
