So you can imagine my dismay when I read that 16-year-old singer-songwriter Georgie Vale lists Nash as one of her influences. But, on closer inspection, it seems that Georgie’s influences go much deeper than that.

This week we are at the other end of the scale with one of the few dedicated venues in the town centre.
