Admission
, at the door only, £7.00 including tea
Sadly, we
decided to cancel (or perhaps postpone ) the concert scheduled for
Sunday October 18th. This was done partly from personal reasons of
mine but mainly to avoid a clash with Stogursey's Arts Festival
weekend which was presenting another concert at the same time. I
look forward to playing the programme for you later, probably next
year.
However you
have a real treat to look forward to this month. Mary Morgan is
going to sing for us on Sunday 22nd November at 3.30 pm. Once again
we shall have tea together.
This is the
feast day of St Cecilia, the Patron Saint of music and Mary has
chosen songs that talk of music. Here is what she will sing, but not
necessarily in this order. I shall play the piano for her.
