Flutes & Co

Date of our next AGM is on 4th March at 8.45pm in the Detached Room at Castle Street Centre. All parents, members and anyone interested are very welcome to attend. We could do with some more help with letter writing this year, if anyone is interested please let me know. Thank you

Our Christmas busking in Kendal this year – (the first outside gig for our contrabass!) –  has raised nearly £120 for our funds.

Thanks to all those wonderful players  - both current and past players of Flutes & Co – who didn’t mind how many times they played Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer(?) and survived the perils of being smoked out by a thoughtless sedentary cigarette puffer!

In aid of the NSPCC and by kind permission of Mr & Mrs Bagot.

Tickets are £15 to include canapes and wine from 7pm. Concert to start at 8pm.

Tickets available from Tel.015395 60797 or 015395 60603. Hope to see you there!

Comment made by audience member (from Bristol) following our most recent concert:

‘I attended your concert at Cartmel Priory on Saturday evening and wanted to pass on my complements to everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening, I thought it was a varied and interesting programme, performed excellently. Well done!’

Audio of this concert will be available soon – watch this space!

With another successful Flute Day over and our first ‘Christmas’ concert under our belt (despite weather conditions) we are into 2011 and looking forward to concerts at Cartmel Priory and Hawkshead Parish Church in the summer…ages away yet! Before that, be sure to look at the latest photos of our Flute Day on the Photos page.

As you can see we survived the rigours of the latest convention and will be now practising madly and regaining our stamina for the next one in 2 year’s time……….

Flutes & Co members, past and present!

Our youngest member Lizzie Briggs recently bumped into James Galway in Manchester and slipped him a copy of our latest CD.

Sir James’ verdict? “Loved your CD and the group sounds great!” Well done team!
