Council Rocks to MUSE

There was a new item on the Agenda at the Council Meeting! There we were, all best suits and formal, me with my Chain on, gavel in hand when clips from A Seaside Rendezvous reverberated round the Chamber as a video of the hightlights of that wonderful concert by MUSE appeared on the screens. It was tempting to go the whole hog, jump up and punch the air but instead Members gave rave reviews and thanks to MUSE for coming home to Teignmouth in such grand style. What was not generally realised was their personal generosity towards local charities, in paticular The Helen Foundation and to my Charity SENSE for deaf/blind young people who can never hear or see a performance like this. MUSE said they wanted to give something back to the town, but they have already done that in spades.
