Invitation to the Dance - A Concert
On Friday, we gave our first concert in St Mary’s Church, Haddenham. As this was also the first time we’d performed a recital in the village, it was a real unknown in many ways - we were not sure whether we’d have a large audience or just a few people along this first time. Having [...]
Invitation to the Dance - Concert in Haddenham
Well it’s been a very busy couple of weeks as our first concert in Haddenham (near Aylesbury and Thame) is approaching fast. The concert will be on very similar lines to our other ‘popular classics’ recitals, with most of the music performed being well known classical pieces, presented in a light and informal way - [...]

Speaking to someone who had attended our concert in Eaton Bray on Saturday the 5th of June, he made the observation that after talking to lots of members of the congregation since the concert, several people commented that they had turned up out of ‘duty’ to the recital as [...]
Travellers Tales at St Mary’s

The church had previously hosted a jazz event and has a choral concert planned for later in the year, but it was [...]

As usual, we spent the whole day rehearsing hard, with two hours of music to perfect for the evening. The rest of the group arrived around 11am and we [...]

Forthcoming Concert at St Giles Church, Cheddington
It seems quite recently that we were blogging about our Christmas concert in St Giles Church, Cheddington (our own village) and already the spring sunshine is here and we’re busy programming for another concert in the church to take place on May the 14th 2010.
As each time we play in the village, we try to [...]

Musicians perform without charge but are able to nominate a good cause or [...]
