Hello forum

I'm very pleased to announce that andante_in_c (flute), katyjay (soprano) and me (clarinet) will be performing in a charity recital on Saturday 11th July, 7:30pm, at Christ Church, Gally Hill Road, Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire

Theme will be 'Dogs, Birds, Sheep and All That Jazz', and will include music by Delibes, Doppler, Catherine McMichael, Roussel, Schubert, Rutter, John Dankworth and others.

If you can come along, it'd be great to see you there!

I can't make it I'm afraid, but I hope it goes well

Thanks BB2

Tempting. Very tempting!

Whilst Fleet is easy to get to from here, I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it as one of my nieces has her first birthday that day, so there may well be cake to eat a party to go to, but if timings allow, I'll probably come

If I'm home in time from being a leader on a camp (finishes that afternoon), I will be there!!

Fingers crossed



Would be great to see you there Chev!

Ooh, quite near me! I've put it on the calendar, but as of now am not quite sure what is happening as it's on the birthday of a close friend and we may be helping to celebrate. I'll definitely come if we're free.

Which charity are you doing it for?

it's to raise money for an extension to the church hall, so that more community groups can meet

(edit : 1:50pm)

Am away on my hols....

*disappointed*

that's a shame anacrusis.

It's my Mum's birthday too - she and Dad are coming to the gig, so there may be some cake left....

I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Sadly I'm playing in a concert in the Midlands that evening so won't be able to experience it

This recital is two weeks today : if you can make it, we'd love to see you there!

I'll be there.
Looking forward to it.

just done some practice, but the hot weather has rather curtailed it...

it'll be ready for 11/7 though, promise...

If I'm not up to much (I am at the Renault WRC the weekend before but that's all I can think of so don't think I am) then I might be interested.

Barry - you don't half get around! Does your car have moon mileage yet?

He lets the train take the strain...

It would be good to see you if you're free, Solari.

OK I'll keep an eye on my calendar. Is it a tickets on the door thing? I could probably give Barry a lift back if I do go seeing as he lives about 5 minutes drive away from me

Yes, you can pay on the door.

It would be good to see you Solari if you can make it!

It's this Saturday...

If you can get there, we'd love to see you!

90% chance I will make this... I'm not working

I just saw this - I used to live in Church Crookham (Pine Grove), but now I'm in Lancashire. Good luck anyway!

Chris

I would love to come, but sadly I am in a "Last Night of the Proms" concert playing 'cello for the day.

Hope it goes really well though.

Won't be there but hope it goes really well and look forward to a report after the event.

Have a great concert.
Bev.

Hope to see you there Solari, and thank you for all the other good luck wishes everyone!

Hopefully I'll be there, but it all depends on whether I can get there or not, as I can't drive due to a gammy knee!!

Poor Chev ...

Hope you manage to find a way to get there...

I'm trying to call in a few favours from some friends doing my best, definitely be there if I can!

Hope the concert goes well. Sorry I can't make it to hear you all but I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Thanks CJB

I'll leave a report here on Sunday : I'm sure there'll be other reports too.

It's today

*makes sure clarinet works, and has ready supply of reedy things*

Thanks for all the good luck messages!

Tell us all about it later Barry... What's the programme? (Haven't read all the thread)

Hope it went well!!!!

Thanks DawnF!

The programme includes clarinetty things like John Dankworth's Suite for Emma and Schubert's Shepherd on the Rock, as well as some songs for flute, clarinet voice and piano and a few flutey things and jazzy numbers.

Good Luck!!!! Just in case, I'm doing my best to get there, but at the moment it's looking unlikely I'm still trying, so

sounds fun Hope you all enjoyed it.

How it goes/went really well!

I'm first back - virtue of living half a mile from the venue.

It seemed to go really well: a reasonable audience for a chamber gig and they looked as if they enjoyed themselves.

Thanks to Deborah and Husband, sbhoa and Solari for keeping the Forums end up in the audience and travelling considerable distances to join us. Much appreciated.

And a big thank you to katyjay and barry-clari for volunteering their services to help our local fundraising campaign. it looks as though we've raised well over £300 tonight.

glad it all went well, but gutted I couldn't get there stupid knee!

glad it went well

Pleased to hear it was such a success. Sorry I couldn't make it in the end.

Just got in, dropped Barry off on the way

I decided against going to the pub for last orders and am relaxing with a nice bottle of Beck's now at home (nothing like spending the evening with a bubbly blonde!) The M25 was shocking, I thought I was out at sea or something with all the spray!

Anyhow, on topic... That was really great! I enjoyed that tonight and it was definitely much different to what I'd normally go to listen to in a concert. Thanks to all involved for putting the effort in to entertain everyone - all 4 of you were excellent



As I mentioned, I am also now convinced that Barry can breathe through his ears....

Oh and it was nice to meet some fellow mites as well If my friend hadn't dropped out and had come along with me, I might not have stuck out like a sore thumb so much I'll moan at her tomorrow for preventing me from having an air of mystery

Well, I've had a good night's sleep and chance for my voice to recover.

It was a really fun evening, and I enjoyed every minute of it

Many, many thanks to Andante-in-C for setting the gig up, and to her and Barry-Clari for being such fun to work with

Also thanks to the Forumites who came to cheer us on, it was great to see you.

It's great to know we raised a nice sum for a good cause too

Sarah-flute! Really good to see you posting again : I've missed reading your posts.



That seems to sum it up very nicely : a good audience and it was a fun gig. Thanks katyjay and andante for being such good company in the gig, and for all the audience for coming. And thanks too Solari for the lift home, the weather late last night could best be described as 'a bit damp', and it saved me getting rather wet...

And over £300 raised, that's really good news!

Thanks again everyone!

I'm betting those conditions wouldn't do your recorder any good You did great on the recorder btw!

Oh, I got your message and added you to MSN....

Thanks Solari : you witnessed the first time I've ever played recorder in a recital...



Cool

Glad it went well! sounds like you enjoyed yourselves

Glad it wet well

Thanks!



Thanks hillyb : and yes, it was very wet that evening
