RUBY AND HER HORSES is coming to The Victory Hall, Campsea Ashe on Friday 12th November 2010 ' If you get a chance to see these two entertainers grab the opportunity with both hands!' - The East Anglian Daily Times This is a true life narrative told by Neil Lanham from stories that were told to him by his Mother Ruby. In the show the audience will be drawn back to the period just before the First World War and then through the agricultural depression of the 1930s. It was, Ruby said, a time when ' ' If you hadn't got anything you were lucky because you hadn't got the worry of it. For sure as eggs are eggs you'd loose it.' The narrative is supported by a PowerPoint presentation of Ruby's own photographs, digitally enhanced for the big screen, and each story is followed by an unaccompanied song from Andrew Stannard in his nutbrown East Suffolk voice. Everything you hear on the night will come straight out of the oral tradition, nothing having been taken from books. 'We have had quite a bit of feed back of a very positive nature. The words ‘charming’ ‘enchanting’ ‘riveting’ and suchlike have been used. 'The two men held the audience spellbound for 2 hours and Ruby was brought alive with stories producing bouts of laughter and feelings of sadness in equal amounts' - East Anglian Daily Times 18 Sept. 2007. Tickets priced £6.00 from Eyke Village Stores or Paul Fosker 01728 747 637 Proceeds to Village Hall renovation fund.
