title	Fred and the Orchestra, Snape Maltings, Suffolk - 5th April
intro	Fred's at the end of his five-day residential at Framlingham College, which wraps up with an excellent performance of him and the rest of the Suffolk Youth Wind Orchestra - as well as the Suffolk Young Strings and the full Youth Orchestra - on stage at the world-famous Snape Maltings. There are also a few of Fred's own photos, and one pinched without guilt from the county music service's Facebook feed of one of the rehearsals, seeing as we weren't allowed to take our own at the gig. Before the concert, we head into Aldeburgh to get some fish and chips for Fred's pre-gig tea, and before even that, Nosher and Isobel cycle over to the Hoxne Swan for a couple of beers.
