Psychogeographical Trivia.

I love these old fashioned village hall stages with their rickety steps and vertigo inducing height. They provide a panoramic view of the ceili chaos below. Longsdon competes in height with Endon Village Hall and so merits a stage diving rating of Awesome.

For reasons I'm not entirely clear about Longsdon proudly displays a framed photograph of former Bond girl, star of the Wicker Man, and occasional Fairy Godmother, Britt Ekland. What a trouper. I suppose we can all gain comfort from the the thought that no matter how far you climb up the slippery pole of success we all end up in Panto.
