Spring Festival and High Tea

Tuesday 23 September
It was pleasing to see so many members at North Curl Curl Community Centre to share the delicious high tea. The musicians added to the afternoon’s enjoyment and we send a big thank you to Graham Spindler, Peter Purches and Rob Williams for entertaining us. Thanks must also be extended to Kerrie Sanders for organising the event and to the caterers who did us proud once again, plus of course the volunteers who helped set up and put away.

Some members ‘frocked up’ and prizes were given to two ladies wearing very elegant and colourful outfits.

A great time was had by all, as you can see from the images included in the October newsletter.

‘A Celtic Celebration’ by Celtic Connections

Wednesday 27 August
The Celtic Connections concert held at Narrabeen Baptist Church was a great success. The group of eight musicians, led by Graham Spindler, played plenty of old favourites as well as new material they have been working on this year, including an original composition by fiddle player, Peter Purches. As usual with Celtic Connections' concerts, the enthusiastic audience was encouraged to join in and they did, with some robust singing.

Some comments received afterwards were: 'Loved the show', 'Wonderful concert’, ‘The choice of music hit the spot’, ‘Amazed at the variety of songs’, ‘So enjoyable’, ‘Totally uplifting’, 'A much needed celebration in these troubled times’.
