Cannington is a village about 4 miles outside Bridgwater, Somerset, UK. The village church is a beautiful building, largely 15C, with a wonderful acoustic. Each year we put on a series of events, of many types of music: piano , organ, instrumentalists, jazz, early music etc, and drama

PROGRAMME FOR 2016
Cannington Music - Programme for 2016 The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Cannington, near Bridgwater
February 9th. Those of you came know what a wonderful concert of Ragtime and early jazz we had with Original Rags. We must book them again!
April 30th Saturday 7.30 pm Somerset Songsters. “And her mother came too” A light-hearted musical entertainment by a successful and talented Somerset group. This is the same weekend as the Flower Festival in church so why not indulge yourself with both? £7.00
May Sunday 29, in the afternoon, I will play the concert postponed from last year. Piano, organ and singing, “1892, a good year?" explanations on the day!
June Friday 24th 7.30 pm The day after that referendum I will give a organ concert, not all of it entirely serious! I may have to slip in something to do with Europe and gloom/joy depending on your preference!
September Friday 9th 7.30 pm Zephyr, a wonderful flute and harp duo. More details of the programme later.

How to keep in touch with your computer, tablet or smart phone
We have a Facebook page and also a Group on Facebook. If you use Facebook just type Cannington Music into the search bar at the top and both should appear in the list. If you “like” the page or join the group you will be able to see all the postings.
I have also started writing a Blog on the music in the church. This gives notice of all upcoming concerts and often lists the whole of the programme details. Happy reading. http://canningtonmusic.blogspot.co.uk/
Lastly, we keep an email publicity list and I send emails before every concert. The trouble is you must remember to inform me if you change your address. It happens a lot that people forget and it is hard to keep it up to date. It depends on you!
If you send an email to Cannington.Music@gmail.com I will add you to this list . It would help me no end if you make the subject “ Mailing list”
Please note this is NOT my personal address.
