On 4 October, following the tail-end of Hurricane Amy, The Friends of St Mary’s Church Beaminster were delighted to present an exhilarating evening of entertainment with the John Maddocks Jazzmen.
As the magnificent Church filled to capacity, getting “The Blues when it Rains” was far from our minds. We were entertained by light-hearted banter between John Maddocks and his Band as he introduced their wide repertoire of tunes from early jazz to popular songs. Like “Sweethearts on Parade” we all felt we’d been transported to a bygone era and, by the end of the evening, we truly felt we could “Leave our Worries on the Doorstep” and return home “On the Sunny Side of the Street”.
The Friends would like to thank you for your valued support and are delighted to say the event made £1600 which will go towards the much-needed new lighting system.
If you would like to become a Friend of St Mary’s Church, or hear more about us, please email hillsusannah@hotmail.com and one of the committee will be happy to tell you more.
