Well, they weren't actually there of course, the event was presented by David Windle and Lynne Fox, but they would most definitely have approved. David played the piano and told us something of the lives of George and his brother Ira Gershwin and Cole Porter and Lynne Fox played the piano and sang. Lynne, who is bringing out a new CD any minute now, changed into several different costumes which were very stylish indeed.
As David pointed out, to play every single song and piece of music written by those composers would take at least a fortnight of non-stop playing - a real Marathon! On Saturday, David and Lynne presented a couple of songs new to us - "I've got a Crush on You"and "The Ship" - but otherwise all the old favourites were there and the church, which was full, was a lovely setting for the show. Had there been room, people would have got up and danced!
During the interval, we were treated to a cup of tea or coffee and some delicious biscuits in the Church Hall adjoining the Church and as we walked the few steps to the Hall, we noticed the sky was full of stars.
We were told the next event at the church will be a carol service with brass band - so check out their website for details.
Many thanks to the organisers and to David and Lynne for a most entertaining event. We hope they raised much-needed funds towards the refurbishment of the church.
