THE WANDERING MINSTRELS
The Friends of All Saints' next event will be something really different for All Saints, Emberton - an evening with The Wandering Minstrels:
The Wandering Minstrels is a highly accomplished group of six singers and a pianist who specialise in staging songs and scenes from the immortal Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Their concerts of Savoy classics, presented in period costume and performed in traditional style, are events to remember!
We would love you to attend this superb, light-hearted evening of songs and scenes from the Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas, beautifully sung and delightfully staged. We promise you two hours of Savoy favourites, combining the biting wit of W.S. Gilbert with the enchanting music of Sir Arthur Sullivan.
The evening will commence at 7.00pm in Church, and tickets are priced at £13.50 for members of the Friends, and £15.00 for guests. This will include a glass of wine (or something non-alcoholic) and nibbles in the interval.
Tickets can be booked with: Mike Horton 01234 712272 or horton@walnut.plus.com; Caroline Ellis 01234 712073; Sheila Watts 07703 279165 or sheilawatts28@gmail.com.
