OUR JULY CONCERT

WITH ROD POOLEY

 

 

 

    Rod Pooley at Woodhall Spa

This highly awaited concert was Rod Pooley's first visit to Woodhall Spa and it didn't disappoint. He played his Bohm Sempra instrument and gave us an evening of essentially easy listening music. He started off with "Windows of My Mind", followed by some mu.sic associated with Klauss Wunderlich music, Abba, Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Then followed Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore", Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". The mood changed as we heard some church organ music wit  "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"  and finally a trip to Scotland and the Bagpipes with a Scottish Medley including  "Highland Cathedral. The second half continued in a similar vein with items in the style of Phil Collins, music from "The Godfather" and some James Last music including "Mornings at Seven" and "A Morning in Cornwall". For his finale he played his interpretation of "1492 - The Conquest of Paradise", so concluding a very pleasant evening of music, all played beautifully.

Our concert next month will be played by Andrew Nix and takes place on Friday, August 1st at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ.

Our concert next month will be given by Andrew Nix and is on Friday 1st August, 2025 at 7.30pm at Coronation Hall, Spa Road. Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ. We look forward to seeing you all.
