Who, What, Where, Now!

The end of July is nigh

While out in my garden and waiting for my tomatoes to ripen, tunes are swirling in my head. It's hardly a surprise given the amount of great music we have available (often for free) all over the Valley. This final week of July (sigh) offers quite the variety, something for everyone, as it happens. If you can’t find some an appealing and relaxing concert, you may be better off just staying in your garden. Or try some house snooping at the annual Tour of Homes. It's one way to get out of the heat.
