Live music at St Mary's

The Shambles - 26th September 2009

On Saturday we were visited by The Shambles who entertained us to their usual high standard with numbers from Gershwin, Goodwin & of course Glen (Miller). Old favourites were played along with new numbers all introduced with banter and jokes and a great interval spread from the ladies of St Mary's meant we all had a great evening.

Piano & Violin Recital - 8th August 2009

On Saturday evening we were privileged to be entertained by Chloe Werner & Jon-Luke Kirton.
With a program that spanned from Beethoven to Bowen they enthralled us
with their virtuosity, Chloe with the violin & Jon-Luke at the piano.
The evening raised over £100 towards the work of the 'Friends of St Mary's'
to preserve the fabric of our ancient building.

Many thanks to Chloe & Jon-Luke.

Something Blue - 15th November 2008

Ancient & Modern all in one day - again.. 27th October 2007

For a third year in succession Fr Yenda has taken to the Piano to raise funds for the
'Friends of St Mary's' to help with their work looking after the Church. Thanks to
Fr Yenda for the Key signatures and cold (a very cold day and he didn't want to
spend the money he raised on heating) and thanks to the many who dropped in during the
day to support (or check up) on him.

Ancient & Modern all in one day... 14th October 2006

 
 
Fr Yenda successfully played through the hymn book in just under six hours
to raise money towards the Church building projects.
With sponsor money and the kind donations of visitors to the
Church throughout the day over six hundred pounds was raised.
Many thanks to Fr Yenda for his endeavours...
