Jazz comes marching through
Jazz (and blues) come marching through town this long Bank Holiday weekend with a range of events, some of which can be found on the street, some of which just require buying a few drinks while you listen and some of which need tickets.

Andrew now has time to paint
Whilst juggling employment (as an architect and gallery owner) and voluntary roles (with the Conservation Society and the Art Gallery in Rye), Andrew Blyth's ambition has always been to devote more time to his real love - painting - and is now largely focussing on developing new creative ideas. Dee Alsey in her "Ryers Unwrapped" series finds out more. Three of Andrew's works (watercolours of Dungeness scenes) can be seen in the Rye Society of Arts Summer Exhibition 10:30am-5:30pm daily until August 31 in the Dance Hall behind the Conduit Hill Community Centre
