Catch us for the final gig of the year at the Mill Hotel Sudbury from 11-1pm on 29th December. We’ll be in the bar regaling you with our finest Christmassy tunes, from the Andrews Sisters to The Pogues.

Here we are at Sudbury’s Christmas Tree Festival on 5th December:

Come and find us on Thursday 5th December in St Peter’s, Market Hill Sudbury from 4.30pm-6pm. We’ll help you get into the Christmas groove with some proper carols and a liberal helping of seasonal cheesy hits.

Here’s a testimonial from Thursday night’s gig with Sudbury Gainsborough Women’s Institute:

‘I just wanted to say thank you for entertaining my WI on Thursday evening. The feedback has been really positive about your groups performance and I for one really enjoyed it.Not only did you all look elegant and professional but you all sounded wonderful. I looked around the room and saw women reliving their childhoods with Mary Poppins and their teenage years with the other songs.
Thank you all so very much it was such fun.’

Last night we had the pleasure of singing with over 80 members of Sudbury and district Womens Institute groups at their annual get together in Sudbury Town Hall.

After a warm up and a three part round based on Swing Low Sweet Chariot, we had a sing along to our Mary Poppins Medley, and then sang some swing, 60s and 70s tunes, wrapping up with Stop by the Spice Girls. Our rendition of Nella Fantasia reduced one WI lady to tears – fortunately they were good tears!

We were asked to judge the Keep Our Rural Buses jingle competition, giving first prize to an eye-wateringly funny entry from Melford WI. More signatures are needed to help the County Council change its mind about cutting bus services to our towns and villages, sign here: Save Our Buses

Finally, here’s Emma R enjoying a well earned cuppa last night:

If you’re in Ipswich on 7th July you can catch us in the Masonic Hall from 4.20-4.45pm as one of the wide range of acts at Ipswich Music Day.

This photo is from last night’s Polstead WI centenary celebration, where we debuted ‘Jerusalem’ – we may keep it on our song list to mix things up a bit!

We had a great time with other musicians from Sudbury a couple of weekends ago helping raise funds for the Rotary Chairman’s charities. More gigs are coming in too – we’ll keep you posted!

Our first gig of the year is on 23rd February, 6.30pm at St Gregory’s Church, Sudbury CO10 1BA.

It’s a fundraiser for the Rotary President’s charities: The Befriending Scheme, The Richmond Fellowship and East Anglia Air Ambulance

Tickets are £10, available from Compact Music (North St Sudbury) and the Tourist Information Office or on the door

We are honoured to be on the bill with Tom Cogan, Elaine Henson, Choir4Hire, Stephen Mitchell, Hilary and Rob Spivey and Madrigalia – something for everyone!

Our next outing is on Thursday 6th December at 4.30pm for Sudbury’s Christmas Tree Festival in St Peter’s, Market Hill CO10 2EH. Might as well join in the early seasonal promotional bandwagon!
