Puss in Boots

THERE ARE NOT MANY EVENINGS that combine unicycling, Uilleann pipes and a stageful of rats - but the 2008 Village Variety Show provided that and more! There was singing, music, comedy, poetry and panto from local talent and we were delighted to welcome a few "outsiders"to enrich the blend. Lynette Levitt's singing entranced, and Bryony Lemon's trio - featuring fiddle, accordion and those very strange pipes - fascinated. Thanks to them all for making the effort to attend, and to Steven Levitt for musical accompaniment throughout. We raised over £320 for St Mary's Church funds; grateful thanks to all in the village who supported this event and helped in any way, and especially to Kaye Lewinski for directing the minipanto. There will be no Variety Show in 2009 - but get practising for 2010!
