July 2019 – Redmond Morris, 4th Baron of Killanin, co-producer for “The Dig”, contacted Charlie Haylock wanting him to be the Suffolk dialect coach . . . and that Ralph Fiennes would be playing Basil Brown and would be contacting Charlie imminently . . Ten minutes later Ralph rang Charlie and after a short chat, an agreement was struck . . . and Suffolk dialect coaching was about to enter another level.

To celebrate Suffolk Day – Charlie will bring lots of tasty stories from his experience coaching on ‘The Dig’ to entertain and amuse.

And in addition Peter Optical – musician and storyteller of many years standing ‘will offer a tune or two on the Hammered Dulcimer and a tune or two on Pipe and Tabor and maybe a song and a story or even a quick flurry on the harp.’
