Striking a chord for silence
Every Saturday, normally for several hours at a time, an accordion player, stands immediately outside the library entrance, “serenading” passers-by and anyone seeking to enjoy that haven of tranquillity with what I am sure most people would regard as somewhat tuneless renditions of his musical capabilities.
As far as I am aware, despite complaints from the manager of the Rye Library, members of his staff and at least one other local resident, the noise continues unabated.

Hide AdI do not wish to seem like a complete kill-joy, but may I urge anyone who prefers to read or study in peace at the Rye Library to lodge a complaint to the authorities in the hope that the gentleman in question can be guided towards somewhere a little more appropriate to exercise his musical talents than in the entrance of a public library.
