9th February

Noah's Cape



Many thanks to all who came and enjoyed the concert with Geoff Lakeman on Friday. What a delightful evening it was, with a lovely opening set from Rod Jenkins,  and two sets of mixed songs and music from Geoff and his Crane Duet Concertina. The Wessex Acoustic Singalong Choir were in good voice and made the most of all the choruses on offer, well known and 'new to us'. Lovely tales of his highly musical family and his beloved Devon and Cornwall, rounded off the cosy entertainment.

Coming next we have Noah's Cape on February 9th.  Noah's Cape are Linda Watkins, Marian Wedley and Mark Niel. 3 songwriters,3 voices, 3 sets of musical talent. Delicious harmonies, original & familiar song.  Warm up your voices ready to join in again.

Opening support is from sweet voiced Wendy Jane, who appeared with her husband a while ago as support as a duo, The Morrows.

This concert is the chance for you to see an up-coming act you may not have heard of before. We take time out in the summer to attend festivals, not just to enjoy the music but also to 'spot' great acts who deserve a wider audience. We cannot afford to take a chance like this too often, but we do try to give artistes the chance to become known and loved in a new area for them.  You know from past Wessex concerts, we always pick great performers so have confidence in coming along for a night of great music and songs. 
Linda Watkins has been a few times to the club with her band and always entertains. This is something different from her but no doubt it will have the magic touch Linda brings to all her performances.

Please mark your diaries and calendars with our upcoming concert dates.
