Midsummer fun for everyone
An enjoyable Midsummer Miscellany took place at All Saints Church on Saturday 4 July. The village concert was designed to bring forth local talent for all to enjoy and it was in abundance from young and not-quite-so-young alike.
More than 120 people packed the Old Buckenham Parish Church in glorious sunshine to hear the Banham hand bells entertain with songs from the shows, the Old Buckenham WI make them laugh with witty poetry and the Old Buckenham Cubs and Beavers delight with weather songs which included sign language, actions and even audience participation. Jordan Bailey, the Old Buckenham High School Poet Laureate, read his own specially commissioned poem, the new Rector David Hill sung for his supper while Annette Winters and Geoff Sankey blew away any summertime cobwebs with trombone and organ accompaniment. The show finale was the Dead Goat’s Appreciation Society (New Buckenham Women’s Drumming Group) beating out the most amazing rhythms.
Everyone then decamped to the churchyard for an early evening barbecue.
The event had a wonderful community feel to it, was greatly enjoyed and, in addition to being lots of fun, the event had the added bonus of raising over £350 for All Saints Church.
The organisers are incredibly grateful to all those who took part in the concert and gave of their time so willingly, all those who attended on a balmy Saturday evening to support the event as well as to those ‘back stage’ including cooks and ticket sellers. A huge thank you to all and there is no doubt that “we’ve got talent in Old Buckenham”
