Concert – 19th Oct 2016 at 7:30 pm<br />

Thanks to a recent refurbishment the venue was lovely and bright – sunshine yellow. Maybe this helped the members of the New Music Makers who performed to raise funds for the Shelter Box charity. They sang through the programme with enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment to a small, but appreciative audience, who joined in wholeheartedly with […]

Yet another wedding where we just helped to make the married couple’s day a bit more special. A very nice, warm,happy occasion. We can offer suggestions for music to be sung before the service, during the signing of the register and to accompany the newly married couple as they leave the ceremony.

Even the table decorations carried on the theme. It was certainly a splendid sight. The Mayor of Eastleigh, Jane Welsh, had organised an Old Time Music […]
