I've been to Eyam several times since then because of it and always find it a remarkably moving experience. If you've never seen it, you now have lots of time to put that right! You'll see lots of familiar faces from the 60's/70's - including Mike "Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased)" Pratt. Incidentally, did you know that he started out as a musician and songwriter and co-wrote lots of songs with the likes of Lionel Bart and Tommy Steele including "Handful of Songs" and even "Little White Bull"?!
How Eyam is coping today:
