Thanks again for orchestrating such a marvellous performance for Tessa’s party – much enjoyed by all who attended. I have to say that approaching the barn and hearing the band playing inside was an incredibly welcoming experience (especially given the weather outside!!) ….. The rest of last week was a bit of a blur, trying to ensure handover of 35 years worth of responsibility before Tessa left on Friday, so I am only just catching up with emails now!!

The next BVB rehearsal is on Sunday 15 December, Jubilee Pavilion, Long Ashton Community Centre 2 – 4.30pm.

It will be a festive rehearsal with an extended tea break – with some festive treats.

Message from Liz:

Dear BVB

To those who played for U3A

Didn’t we do well!

It was quality, stylish playing and performances – with little sign of nerves, which with such a large audience would have been understandable. A particular thanks to Michael whose reading so enhances our performances.

Among many plaudits we received were ‘You looked as if you were enjoying yourselves’ (!- exclamation mark from me). Particularly pleasing  were the number of people who were, as I hoped, interested in booking us. Possible offers from social clubs, the Liberal party (we will have to think about that one!), and an old UWE friend who asked if we (or Roland and Michael anyway) – would perform the choirmasters funeral at her funeral – I don’t think this event is imminent .. but I have put it on the list for the future.

Stars all of you

Thank you

Best

Liz

Also a lovely message from Kristin Payne from the U3A:

Dear Elizabeth

Thank YOU! It was a great morning. You had a bigger than normal audience, a full house, and everybody left looking happy. Several people made a point of telling me how much they had enjoyed it. Your jolly music and interesting accounts really lifted the spirit. So please thank all the musicians for their performance. I hope we may be able to invite you to come again at a different season of the year.

Best wishes

Kristin
