I don't want to 'tread on anyone's toes' so I just wondered what forumers thought about an adult learners concert in Gloucester, May 2011. Looking at the calendar there is nothing going on in May.
I have a potential venue in mind. My piano teacher, who is from South Africa and started teaching here about three years ago here is fully supportive of having a forum event in Gloucester as she was so impressed by Teddington earlier this year. I would hope to generate some local interest. Would anyone be interested in coming to Gloucester? The venue is a five minute walk from the train station and there is a car park near the venue. Here is a link to the webpage for the concert on June 4th. All welcome http://forumconcert.moonfruit.com/ |

If I can make it, I'll come along, if not, I wish you all the best. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Prioritise your local interest first.

Where are all the folks in the West?
What a shame that clavicembalo is no longer with us as I am sure he would have been happy to have a Forum event nearer home. Gloucester is a long way from Costa Rica BUT... I do hope to be in the UK some time around mid year and I would really like to try and make this. My mum lives near Lydney so Gloucester would be quite manageable for me if I can get the timing to coincide with my work commitments. I see from the events calendar that the date is fixed for 4 June. I look forward to hearing more about what you have in mind. Anyone up for doing a combo with my oboe???? |

Yay Gloucester, I will do my utmost to make it.
Where is the venue? I can't think of anywhere that close to the station that would be suitable, unless it is one of the local schools? D x |
