Concerts in Fakenham and Norwich
Just over a week ago, the quartet went on a mini ‘tour’ with four concerts in three days, including two on the same day in Norfolk (you can read about the other two in Cheddington and Cuddington in separate blogs). One (a matinee) was in Fakenham Methodist Church and the other was for the Norfolk and Norwich [...]
I Saw Three Ships - Concert at Cuddington.
Last night we returned to play once again at St Nicholas Church in Cuddington - a village near the border between Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Having given a concert back in September in this Church, we were especially keen to return to such an enthusiastic, delightful audience. It was a beautiful, clear and frosty night with [...]
Concert at Cheddington Church, 9th December
Last night we returned once more to play a concert in St Giles Church, Cheddington. Half the proceeds from the concert were to go towards the upkeep of the Church, with the remainder going towards the Church Bell Restoration Appeal. As always, the atmosphere in the church was magical with a smell of mulled wine [...]

Concert at St Nicholas Church, Cuddington
On Friday the 16th of September, we performed for the first time at the beautiful church of St Nicholas, Cuddington. Although Cuddington is very near to Haddenham where we have played before, it was exciting to be giving a recital in a new village - and we hoped that people who had seen us at [...]
Concert at St Mary’s Church, Eaton Bray
Last Saturday, we were really delighted to return to the beautiful rural church of St Mary’s in Eaton Bray - a village about 7 miles away from home. The quartet had played there last year, giving a recital of music from various countries on a theme of ‘Travellers Tales’. This time, the concert was on [...]

Like our concert at Cheddington in May, the theme will be ‘an A-Z of Music’, with each letter of the alphabet represented by a piece of music. The concert wil start at 7.30pm, with doors opening at [...]
