Thornbury Arts Festival http://www.thornburyartsfestival.com/
Saturday 12th April
We
hosted a Swedish Choir, Celinkoren, in the Gateway Centre on the Spine
Road - starting with food at the White Hart to 5pm then on to the
Gateway at 7pm
For
the evening, the blokes brought bottles of their preferred tipple and
cheese to share! We have decided, rather than puds to have a selection
of ENGLISH CHEESES (cracking idea Gromit!) to entertain our visitors.
Whether you're a Stilton man, a Double Gloucester kind of guy or just a
really fine, organic Cheddar chap bring a chunk 'o cheese to the party -
if you want to get exotic with some Cornish Yarg or a Blue Wensleydale
that's fine too, but fortunately no Caerphilly or Brie (even if it's
made in Somerset) - this was an English cheese night.
Bread and crackers (and some Gluten-free) were provided, plus a spot of quince jelly and a speciality chutney or two.
The blokes did a couple of sets on the night, premiering our version of "Fix you" and a couple of new Georgian pieces.
Thursday 6th March 2014
We
organized a "Master Class with Malkhaz Erkvanidze", one of the top
people in the world of Georgian singing who has been at the forefront of
the revival of Georgian folk and medieval sacred music for the past 25
years.
The event was held on Thursday 6th March in the Ashton Keynes School Hall, opening around 19:15 and starting around 19:45 and because this is a special event and we need to cover his costs by a special one off Master Class ticket cost of £10 per bloke, £5 per Mini-Bloke (kid). Non-blokes are welcome to attend but because of the nature of our all bloke group we have asked that he focus on pieces more suitable for our range.
Saturday 8th February 2014
It was only at one of the South West's biggest venues . . . Colston Hall in Bristol supporting the enormous Gurt Lush choir.
We organized a bus, sorry, coach as we had a full dress rehearsal before the gig and returned with much singing, some of it actually not too bad, after. It was indeed a Big Day Out, and one to cherish for a long time.
