20 November St Michael’s School
We are always delighted to be entertained by pupils from our local schools. Indeed, we think it is one of the principal purposes for Allegro Appassionato.
27 November Michael Wood, saxaphone
A full time saxophone musician living in Ludford, Michael entertains all over Lincolnshire. He loves his regular spot busking in New Street in Louth on market days. This is an opportunity to hear him for a full 45 minutes, whilst you sit in comfort as he plays popular jazz classics to high quality backings. His easy going style creates a relaxed, convivial atmosphere!

5 February, 2020 Spire Federation CE Primary Schools
Jane Amey will bring pupils from North Cockerington and East Wolds primary schools, now both part of the Spire Federation. We work on the basis that it is as good for the children to have an opportunity to perform as it is for us to delight in their performances.

Today Kate and Ian will play a musical memoir of that journey, and her book, “Adventure a er Cancer” will be available to buy.
