Northamptonshire is quite a long thin County running diagonally across the country, so when thinking of Northamptonshire musicians, it might be too far for a ceilidh band based in the bottom corner of the county to travel to the venue in the top corner, whereas across the county it is just as likely that a Cambridge or Coventry barn dance band would play in Northamptonshire. It used to be a county of manufacturing, with Northampton itself at one time the centre of shoemaking and leather industries, and up to the end of 2000 having major engineering manufacturers like British Timken, but much of that has died out and it's now very much a centre of finance and distribution. To the north of the county is Corby, once a major steel town. I remember first going there when I was at secondary school, on a school trip to visit the steelworks and the iron ore excavation minds. I can remember being amazed by the spectacle of a working steelworks, under huge bucket of the Sundew Dragline excavator. (Can you imagine a school trip to a place like that nowadays? Not likely. Health and safety and the coddling of our children rarely allows them to have truly exciting experiences!). I'd been there many times since when I worked in the steel industry, but sadly all that has gone. Perhaps because of its history the area seems relatively devoid of large music venues, but in its place there are a plethora of small venues, pubs, hotels, village halls, which provide excellent venues for all kinds of live music.

Daventry is a small town's past stretches back to prehistoric times. Huge earthworks mark the site of an Iron Age fortified camp on Borough Hill, just east of the town. There are magnificent views from the top, despite the forest of radio masts of the Daventry broadcasting station.

During the Civil War the Royalist army camped round the hill before their defeat at the Battle of Naseby, and tradition has it that Charles I slept at the Wheatsheaf Inn. The town has a pleasant market-place and an 18th-century church and moot hall.

Towcester claims to be one of the oldest towns in the county. It has been an important road junction ever since the Romans built Watling Street. The Saracen's Head Inn figures in The Pickwick Papers as one of Mr Pickwick's stopping places, and the i3th to 15th-century church has a collection of interesting chained books.

On the outskirts of the town there is a racecourse, and the Silverstone motor-racing circuit, built around a disused airfield, is 47 miles south-west.

Stoke Bruerne is a  village on the Grand Union Canal, which runs through a tunnel over a mile long between Stoke Bruerne and Blis-worth.

Rothwell is a small hillside town. The public library is one of several buildings in the county financed by Sir Thomas Tresham (grandfather of Francis Tresham, one of the conspirators in the Gunpowder

Plot). Decorative friezes depict the coats of arms of many leading 16th-century families. In the crypt of Holy Trinity Church are thousands of bones and skulls, discovered by a sexton while digging a grave in 1700. Nobody knows how they came to be there. Rushton Hall, 2 miles north-east, is an Elizabethan house, once the home of Sir Thomas Tresham and now a school for blind children. The Triangular Lodge in the grounds, reached by a separate entrance, was one of the reputed meeting places of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators. There are three gables, and the 33 ft long inscription carved around the building has 33 letters in each of three equal sections.
