I posted a new blog today on The Best of Hitchin. I'm proud to be a tiny cog in this wheel and hope that the new campaign will help us to get the town tidy for the Jubilee celebrations.
Big Wade and Black Swan Theory collectively blends funk, soul, jazz and everything that fills the cracks between those genres: his new album - Piano Man - on all major streaming platforms ahead of the Piano Man Tour 2024 , which has dates across the US. Piano Man brings a selection of original and covers, including a stunning version of Autumn Leaves , which reinvents the song as the funky, electronic Autumn . Big Wade's voice takes the song's melody and improvises around and around, with backing vocals and a deliberately sparse arrangement underpinning the song.

However a lot more could be done. Places where food and drink are purchased could play their part. There should be a local law that states that local permises that sell food and drink should have sufficent litter bins near there premises. Also that they should be responsible for cleaning the litter immediately outside there premises. You only need to look outside the many larger pub/venues in Hitchin on a Saturday and Sunday morning and see the litter shrewn everywhere outside, why should the council have to pay to remove litter caused by a business.
