OUR  MAY CONCERT

WITH NICHOLAS MARTIN B.E.M.

 

 

 

   Nicholas Martin B.E.M.  at Woodhall Spa

Our largest audience so far this year turned out for our Hon. President Nicholas Martin B.E.M. and he didn't let us down. Nicholas played a superb concert covering an enormous range of different styles of music. There really was something there for everybody. Following his theme tune "Hey Look Me Over" he played a medley of Marches followed by the Entre'acte from Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Meditation" from the opera "Thais" by Massenet. There was a medley of Abba music, Glenn Miller and "The Warsaw Concerto" by Richard Addinsell. The first half concluded with some Ragtime with "12 Street Rag". Nick opened his second half with the brilliant "Theatreland" March and then in complete contrast played "Gabriel's Oboe" from "The Mission". A complete change of style took us to "Black and White Rag" followed by "The Bells of St. Mary's", music from "Les Miserables", "The Holy City" and a medley of TV themes which included "Last of the Summer Wine", "Emmerdale" and "Hawaii-Five0". He concluded his concert with his amazing version of "Tiger Rag and the Toccata and Fugue". However the audience didn't let him get away without an encore for which he played "The Dambusters March".

 

It really was a fantastic evening of great music covering an enormous range of styles and was very enjoyable.

 

Next month our concert, which is on Friday June 5th. will be given by Mark Thompson, so promises to be another amazing night of music.  We look forward to seeing you all, so do make a note in your diary for 7.30pm on Friday June 5th. at Coronation Hall, Spa Road, Woodhall Spa, LN10 6PZ.
