We were also interviewed on Carnival FM.

Hastings Old Town Carnival Week Live Punch & Judy Show at Half-Sovereign Cottage for the OHPS. There was a much bigger audience at the second performance, but crowd, pebble and wind noise, not to mention the constant beating of a hammer on metal rather ruined the sound track!


Sorry about the end - forgot to cut it!
