"At 2:13 p.m. three trios started playing - one in the tent, one in the gallery, & one in the Church Hall. After ten minutes the remaining musicians set out, & when one of them entered a venue they ousted one of the trio playing there - who went off to another venue & displaced another musician - & so on ...
