What's on in The Pry

Wiltshire, England

The Pry sits in Wiltshire where the Swindon & Cricklade Railway chugs along with a bit of steam and plenty of history to spare. It is rare to find such a smooth ride on the map without getting lost in the countryside first. You can hop aboard for a journey that feels like stepping back in time while the trains do their thing near the station. There is always room for a picnic or two when the rails are running through the week.

Phil Beer

Phil Beer is the multi-instrumental half of the west country’s award-winning acoustic duo, Show of Hands. With a professional career of over 36 years, Phil has a great deal of material to draw on for his solo appearances, which are an eclectic mix of traditional tunes, covers of Springsteen or The Hollies, together with his own compositions and songs from his contemporaries. All are songs and music of memory and significance, sung in the subtle and melodic Phil Beer style and interjected with musings and amusings to an almost personal audience. It is a treat of past and current favourites from one of the most popular musicians on the acoustic circuit.

"I think that the Wyvern running a Memory Café is very good," says David Baddiel, comedian & Alzheimer's Society Ambassador. "When someone has dementia, you’ve got to remember there’s still a real person there, not just a stereotype of someone looking at the wall with a blanket on their knees. There’s a 360 degree person in there and having Memory Café's and not just storing them away somewhere is a very good thing."
