Wildwood Jack concert success

IMG_4595smallAround 100 people enjoyed a journey in song with Jayne Freeman and Adam Piggott (Wildwood Jack) this Sunday afternoon. They presented a varied programme ranging from the familiar with an exquisite rendition of Elenor Rigby to the more exotic where guitar and ukulele were accompanied by a drone from the Indian Shruti box. There were many expressions of appreciation from the audience.

Enjoyable afternoon with Serenados Tango

A was a lovely afternoon with relaxed ‘vibe’ from the audience. ‘So good to hear music from South America again too,’ was a comment from one person.

Over 100 people packed into the church to listen, and swing to,  a wide-ranging programme of Tango music from Argentina (including the wistful Song d’automn, used for the Jeeves and Wooster TV series) and gypsy-inspired numbers from Europe  (à la Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt).

Pictures show Sebastian, Ben and James performing and then relaxing after the show.
