Ely's Summer of Music 2004
For the fourth year music will play an important part to your visit to Ely this
summer. Whether you are in the town centre or down by the riverside in Jubilee
Gardens we have music to suit all ages. All the Saturdays throughout July and
August will bring a different flavour of music from Flamenco to Jazz, from Rock
and Pop to Folk. We have the usual mixture of local talent including some youth
bands. We are very pleased to welcome to the programme this year one of the
region's best loved Pop bands: Freestyle. A four-piece, high-tech outfit
playing anything from Stones to Tina Turner, Celine Dion to Sinatra. The band
is fronted by Sue Marchant from BBC's Radio Cambridgeshire's Nighshift.
For the first year Jubilee Gardens is hosting their first free Musical evening when a group of drama enthusiasts from the area will perform Godspell. Headed by Andy Bailey the cast is a mixture of dedicated and highly talented actors, singers, dancers and musicians who will be present in the fully staged show starting at 7.45 pm on Saturday 7th August.
With a stunning score that includes the soaring aspiration of "Day by Day" the emotion of absolute innocence in "All Good Gifts" and the pulsating frantic pleading of "We Beseech Thee" to name but a few, Godspell mixes a great deal of humour with pure joy and intense emotion.
Bring a picnic to the Gardens and make this a fun, family evening out.
