The Saturday Supper was a great success: a fun and friendly evening with great food, a raffle and table quiz, giving a boost to both church and village hall funds. We made a profit of £807 – special thanks go to all who bought tickets to support our causes and created a lovely atmosphere.

It was a real team effort and we are grateful for all the help and donations we received to be able to run the event. These included potatoes from Seaman’s farm, various food items from Morrisons supermarket and numerous delicious desserts and vegetarian alternatives donated by villagers. We employed Kate Lewis Catering to provide the Beef Bourguignon and Kate & Neil Lewis did a great job of supervising our volunteer catering staff and washing up. Thanks to all who prepared, cooked and served the food, decorated the tables and volunteered their time on the bar to keep the drinks flowing all evening.  To download the photo just click here.

This has to have been one of the best concerts Hindolveston Village Hall has ever seen. The evening opened with a superb set of South American classical music by Andy Cleveland, a very talented local musician from Wells-next-the-Sea.

Then on to the main event. A virtuoso display from Gordon Giltrap of acoustic guitar mainly comprising self penned pieces interspersed with some hilarious anecdotes from his illustrious musical background. The first set ended with his iconic ‘Dodo’s Dream’, an impressive demonstration of what can be done with a ‘Looper pedal’ (Youtube it).

After the break, during which Gordon chatted with the audience and signed a plethora of items including CDs, Singles, LPs, posters etc., Gordon continued where he left off. The evening seemed to build, with the pieces becoming more intricate and the audience becoming even more enthusiastic. The evening finished with “a medley of his greatest hit!!” (Gordon’s words) ‘Heartsong’. This was followed by an early piece called Lucifer’s Cage, which required enormous energy to perform.

His encore was an amazingly lyrical piece written for his wife Hilary. This left the audience spellbound and beaming.

Thunderous applause followed………….simply the most outstanding evening!!
