The Red Shoes!

We held two magnificent Christmas Concerts yesterday to universal acclaim from the audience who claimed it was "the best ever"! All down to the skills of our choir, led by Jill and formed from members of more than a dozen WIs, who, together with the band from Newent School, organist James Brown and soprano Jane Gilchrist, our guest artistes, put together a super programme. Ian, conductor, was on form and used the skills of the audience (playing car keys!) to make Jingle Bells go with a very special swing!


I think it was Maureen, a member of Eastcombe WI, who told me that in China, red shoes are a sign of authority. I wore mine to the concerts yesterday, but found I had quite a bit of competition!!
