The 2010 FESTIVAL

The 2010 Festival was particularly successsful with 8 events - 3 in the Festival marquee and 5 in the Church. We had a great variety of music from classical to African, jazz and opera.
Against the recession we managed to break even after making some charitable donations. We recovered 60% of our costs through ticket sales whilst the majority of music festivals only achieve 40%. We averaged 80% attendance which reflects the excellent programme performed by some famous names such as the Brodsky String Quartet, some exciting up and coming stars Evelyne Berezovsky on the piano, Pei Jee Ng on the 'cello, Tim Kliphuis the exciting new find with his violin jazz and old friends the Katona twins (guitar).
From a village of only 500 we found some 50 volunteers to cover the multitude of tasks to run the week.Not a single bad night.
Here's to 2012 (16th to 23rd of June) being as good.
