Comments received about the 2010 Show

It was my first festival. All I can say is what a wonderful, warm, friendly and varied night's entertainment we all had. Sometimes you go to things totally unsure what you are going to get and end up being so-so about them, but last night was tremendous. I specifically went to see the Greek Rembetiko but was mesmerised by both Jean-Pierre and the Asian dancing.
Cannot really fault anything other than if you had some different food/snacks (my kids werent too taken with samosas etc - but I loved them!) Regards (to you and Andy) Paris

It was fantastic show . . . . The response for our children's performance is fabulous. We are so overwhelmed by that, each and every person came around to say how well they did. Kind Regards, Meena

Ms Saraswathi Sonu Balakrisnan with Bharat Natayam Dancers
The beauty of South Indian traditional culture flows through these graceful girls. Every gesture is an expression of their religious faith and the rich stories central to India's long history.


Women and Work Choir Of Poets
"Choir of Poets" is a Choir formed within Women and Work women's welfare group in connection with the CVO at Acorn House. They come from about ten different countries! Yaw Asiama, local legend playwright, artist, poet, and designer will be conducting!

Chris Puleston's Amazing Drum Circle!
Act 2 Drum Circle; Act 1 Drum Battle. Local percussionist and drum teacher is simply irrepressible! His band Soma has performed nationally and locally to great acclaim. Nobody has yet counted how many different instruments he payed in Campbell Park last year: was it six didgeridoos, fifty bells with his vast circle of drums? Two acts, a drum battle between percussion and a full kit, then the circle of his drum students and colleagues will raise the roof.


Tony Kempster and Sue Gilmurray
Guitarist and pianist are strong activists with the Anglican Peace Fellowship sing songs which emphasise the futility of war as a solution to world problems.


Testament Gospel Band
Instrumentalists and choir formed from St Mary's Church in Bletchley. Did you see them in Milton Keynes recently? You will be impressed!
