Everything went singingly well, sound levels were given the ok and so there's going to be something to look forward to in Tonbridge on Saturday 28 September.  The High Street will be filled with buskers for the whole day from 10am to 10pm. It's a free music event but donations will be gratefully received for the Royal British Legion (Poppy Appeal) and the Tonbridge Memorial Gardens. So look out for the big red buckets about town.
