Singer Martyn Joseph Award-winning acoustic guitarist and singersongwriter Martyn Joseph checks in at Swaffham Assembly House on Saturday 5th November, as part of his extensive winter UK tour. A powerful singer and songwriter gifted with the rare ability to speak to the soul with his expressive and poignant lyrics, Martyn’s been compared to Bruce Springsteen but has carved his own style and reputation as a mesmerising live performer. A unique talent driven by passion, social awareness and love for his trade, his music empowers and speaks for the many. His song “There’s Always Maybe” won the best folk song category in the 2012 World Independent Music Awards. Social justice is ever-present throughout his music, which has been recognised with numerous humanitarian awards and plaudits. His latest album ‘Sanctuary’ has just been released to popular and critical acclaim. Martyn delivers challenging narratives, tackling the complexity of the human condition but underpinned with a promise of hope. BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris observed that “Martyn is one of our most intelligent writers. He gets better and better like the finest of wines.” He has won the love of audiences across the USA, Canada and Europe and toured with Art Garfunkel, Jools Holland, Suzanne Vega, Mike and The Mechanics and Joan Armatrading. A raconteur weaving tales on topical concerns, he tells stories of the fragility of love, with a magical ability to reach out to his listeners through his passion and humour. 2014 saw Martyn launch his ‘Let Yourself Trust’, a not-for-profit organisation which aims to challenge injustice, educating via advocacy, campaigning for human rights and raising issues otherwise ignored. Reviewers have singled him out as an unmissable solo performer whose music stays with you long after the show has ended. A unique talent, driven by passion and love for his trade, Martyn continues to write, sing and play from the heart. It’s a road he’s been travelling for most of his life and, as he often tells his audience, ‘you keep turning up and so will I.’ Tickets are £16 from Ceres Bookshop in Swaffham tel: 01760 722504 and on-line at bit.ly/2atbUNM Swaffham Carpet Bowls Carpet bowls is easy to play but difficult to master!

It all started with Melvin Jones, who joined the Business Circle, a businessmen's luncheon group and was shortly elected secretary. This group was one of many at that time devoted solely to promoting the financial interests of their membership. Because of their limited appeal they were destined to disappear. Melvin Jones, then a 38-year-old Chicago business leader, had other plans. “What if these men," Melvin Jones asked, "who are successful because of their drive, intelligence and ambition, were to put their talents to work improving their communities?" Thus, at his invitation, delegates from men's clubs met in Chicago to lay the groundwork for such an organization and on June 7, 1917, Lions Clubs International was born. Lions international now have 1.4m members spread over 208 countries with 46,620 clubs and focus on humanitarian efforts. Working together when a disaster occurs, LCIF, local Lions and Lions leaders assess the urgent needs and quickly deliver the aid most required by victims. This grassroots model has proven effective in tragedies around the world, such as the Southeast Asia tsunami, September 11th and the Haiti earthquake. Lions know that disaster can affect anyone’s community, whether it’s halfway around the world or right here at home. That’s why in the last 10 years, LCIF has provided more than US$100 million for disaster relief programs worldwide. Swaffham Lions, with the support of Swaffham Town Council, are holding a Civic Reception to launch the one hundred year celebration. This will be followed throughout the year with a programme of events that highlight the work that they do in the community, these will include Diabetes awareness, Sight, disaster relieve and a peace poster competition for school pupils. The year will close with a thanks giving inter denominational service.
