Ferry in court over Heythrop Hunt incident
8:26am Friday 25th July 2008
By Roots Rocker »
Countryside campaigner Otis Ferry will appear in court today charged with attacking a hunt monitor and robbing another.
Ferry, 25, of Eaton Mascot, in Shropshire, the son of Roxy Music singer Bryan Ferry, is expected to enter a plea to the allegations at Gloucester Crown Court today.
Ferry, who previously gave his full name as Charles Frederick Otis Ferry, allegedly robbed Susan Grima of a Samsung video camera, of a value unknown, on November 21 last year at Lower Swell, near Cheltenham.
It is also alleged he assaulted Helen Ghalmi by beating on the same date.
The incident is alleged to have taken place while Ferry was with the Heythrop Hunt, which covers Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
Tory Leader David Cameron is known to have ridden with the hunt in the past.

Eye, Cap'n: A Roger Moore Special
It’s hard to believe that Sir Roger Moore is 80 because he’s as sharp as a knife and as self-mocking as ever.

KISS BAR, PARK END ST, OXFORD
Kiss Bar is next to Lava & Ignite on Park End Street, and I’m guessing that not everyone will have set foot there before. This is more because it’s so tiny rather than being any reflection of how good it is.
Status Quo (supported by Luke White) @ the New Theatre
Swaying back and forth in unison to the riffs bouncing off their guitars, you know what to expect with Status Quo. Even if they have become a bit overused in the past 40 years, cliches have a golden core. For many bands, repeatedly playing their successful songs becomes a kind of purgatory ending in a refusal to even listen to their hit singles any more, let alone play them. But this five-piece never seem to tire of their best tracks, and their infectiously energetic live performance got their loyal middle-aged fans shaking the body parts they forgot they had.
