UKULELE SUCCESS

The UKULELE TEA returned yesterday- and gave us another afternoon of unclouded joy. There were music teachers and visitors, all happily strumming their way through a joyfully daft repertoire which started at traditional folk songs and managed to sweep through Leonard Cohen and Elvis Presley before the final "When the Saints Go Marchin' In".
Informally planning things as they went along, they were cheerfully asking for requests and rising to each challenge. They had us singing along to "Why must I be a teenager in love?" and there were young children dancing away among the paintings. The gallery was warmed with smiles.

Supremo was Jamie Toms- whose Ukelele is just one string to his bow. 
I'm afraid do now know the names of all the players, or of the front man whose singing and personality gave the event its unique quality.
  There is talk of a RETURN OF THE UKULELE TEA !
Additionally, Mr Toms may be persuaded to bring a group of youg guitarists back at Christmas!

THE RETURN OF THE SINGING BARISTAS

Rachel Smith and Ben Carlin, the Singing Baristas of the Lander Gallery, have announced that they will present a MUSICAL TEA here in the gallery on

Rachel will soon be off to Durham University (following spectaular A level results) and Ben goes to read Drama and Theatre Studies at Kingston, London (following a summer with the National Youth Theatre in London).
The first MUSICAL TEA was a great success with songs ranging from the traditional to the West End. 
We look forward to another entertaining afternoon.
