It's Cultural Week - day 2

The big decision was whether to have the concierto in the church or at the village swimming pool and bar. Finally, the committee made their choice of the swimming pool - the church would have been a better venue for this occasion. There was too much backgound noise from the bar during the performance not to mention the resident cricket chirping away and the children running around.

The performers were seated over by the hedge.


The group however, played magnificently with their repertoire ranging from Bach, Handel and Shostakovich in the first part with a selection of Spanish composers in the second.

It was very dark where the players were seated - they even had
battery powered lights to read their music by.

However, everyone seemed to enjoy the performance
and the bar staff were certainly kept very busy.
