Frog and Henry return for another triumph at Fogo

Frog and Henry one year on in Fogo last Friday

Frog and Henry takes Fogo by Storm

Frog and Henry, the new Orleans traditional jazz Band, played in Fogo Parish Church on Friday 24th. January and there wasn’t an empty seat in the church. Such was the welcome which Fogo had given the band when they unexpectedly included our small church in their Scottish tour last year that they agreed to include us in their tour this year even although their tour was intended only to take in venues in England. They made this one small incursion into Scotland. Such was the appreciation of their music last year that this year the church was filled to the doors leaving standing room only. The music was stupendous and the audience was so captivated that it refused to allow the musicians to stop playing until they had promised to include Fogo in their programme for next year. The programme of traditional jazz was superb and the musicians were rewarded with standing ovations, warm applause and genuine appreciation. It was an evening which will not be forgotten!

Taking their final bow — it has been a wonderful evening

The next concert in our ‘Beautiful Music in an Idyllic Rural Setting’ series has been arranged for Friday 31st. May at 7.30 p.m. The Aquillos Ensemble is a wind quintet who have a great following not only in Scotland but in the north of England as well.

The Ensemble will be supported by Heather Cattanach and Harris Playfair on piano and it will be another splendid evening to enjoy. It is not necessary to have a ticket, please just come along and join us. Although there will be an opportunity to make a donation, there is no admission charge and we hope to have the opportunity of welcoming you for what will be a very special evening of music.
