13 group members, including nine making their Froize debuts, met up with Steve Piotrowski and me for coffee at The Froize at the respectably early hour of 7am. The local roads were wet due to the overnight rain but, as predicted, the sandy footpath which we took to the south of The Froize was dry.

On April 23rd we welcomed Bristol based trio ‘Tarren’ to the Froize stage for the first time as part of their UK tour for debut album ‘Revel’.

Such had been the severity of the recent raging, relentless and Siberian-cold gales that had been brutally lashing east Suffolk, a full three hours on our local, exposed and shelterless coast was clearly out of the question. An entire morning in a wind tunnel is not recommended either for physical or mental wellbeing! A plan that would protect both was needed.

Making a welcome return a year after their debut on the Froize stage, Scottish trio Salthouse soothe our souls with their gentle and magnificently crafted music as part of their latest album tour.

No fewer than 18 group members, plus Steve Piotrowski and myself as guides and Froize media guru – Kelly Bayfield (to take notes and photographs) met for coffee at The Froize shortly after 8.30am. It was great to see such a large contingent of people looking forward to their day, and especially good to find so many first timers alongside the regulars.

Having made such an impression on us all back in the late summer of 2022, we were extremely keen to have them back; so much so in fact that we switched from our usual Sunday night to be able to accommodate them during their tour.

Last Thursday our nature leader, Steve Piotrowski, led the latest Froize Uncovered wildlife walk (with lunch of course!)

Our own media guru, Kelly Bayfield, joined the group and released her ‘inner birder’ while also taking some really great pictures that sum up the day a treat. 

Here is Steve’s delightful resume of the day:
