How did the concerts go?
The cushion concert proved an informal setting for children and their families to listen and join in with music, traditional and modern.
Old favourites like The Big Ship Sails on the Alley Alley Oh were a hit with everyone!
The evening concert had a lively start from local singers Notachoir, followed by a session from Readifolk regulars, including The Westlanders, complete with digireedoo. During the interval and the performances, the audience were treated to drinks, cakes and Ghanaian rice, and the evening finished off with excellent performances from local artists Tudor Lodge and Sara Daniels, with the evening rounded off by George Papavgeris.
Altogether a varied and most enjoyable event.
