generation of performers are represented by Sam Lee, a
stunning young singer from London, and Matt Quinn and Tom
Moore who bring traditional dance music alive with their
cheery and energetic approach.
In addition to the permanent displays of agricultural, rural and
social life at the Museum, there will be some special tempo-
rary exhibitions on show, including "Romany Roots" - a collec-
tion of archive and contemporary photographs illustrating the
lives of Gypsies and Travellers in Suffolk showing that music,
singing and stepping has always been important in Gypsy
culture. Other exhibitions by the East Anglian Traditional Music
Trust on musical themes will also be on display.
In order to attend the concerts, an advance season ticket for
the whole event is needed, which is available only from the
