Highlights of the opening weekend
Here’s some gorgeous feedback we received:
“Last night's singalong was amazing! So much fun. Hope there can be more of these and thanks for putting them on to bring so much cheer to a soggy January Saturday x”
“ It was a brilliant event led by incredibly talented musicians! My whole family really enjoyed it - we were on our feet singing and dancing - and it was the perfect tonic to a wet January!”
“ Honestly, I can't recommend this highly enough. Singing along to Grease, Les Mis, Wicked, Mamma Mia, Sound of Music, etc. was a complete tonic to miserable January, seats were comfortable, and there was wine plus delicious nachos from @evieseventkitchen. I'll definitely be banging on about the next event to you all if you're local enough to go because it really was proper joyful”
“ What a fabulous performance of a musical sing a long at the Wiltshire Music Centre today by Joyful on Avon! Myself, and my family ranging from the age of 2 - 94 loved it. Hopefully the first of many events to come”
