RENOWNED performer Ian Bruce went down a storm at Branscombe Village Hall last week.
Over 60 people attended the concert organised by the village hall roof fund committee in conjunction with Villages in Action (VIA) last Thursday.

"It was a very happy atmosphere and he was very good. He ad-libbed a lot of narrative and twisted it so it had a Branscombe spin."
