From Freda Frost of Massingham, 2005 (CH B5-1-4b) Freda Frost (néé Parker) lived in Bale for twenty years and well remembers music in The Oak, in the mid 1930s, when she was in her twenties. She actually lived next to Horace Brighty, who played accordion in the pub. She particularly remembers 'one old gentleman' with a beard, called Billy Ramm, who played accordion and did a 'tap dance' at the same time. [This could be step dancing.] She also recalls that a music hall group would come to the village hall and that they used to lodge with her grandmother. |
