Another fantastic afternoon in Freda’s Garden for her annual Music in the Garden open garden event on Sunday 25th July.
Hosting the event was Pete Sinclair, who crooned some classic hits throughout the afternoon.
He was joined by Fred Snow’s Jazz Trio who performed an exciting and highly entertaining jazz set that definitely got the audience tapping their toes tapping.
Sadly, due to Covid we were unable to have the London Concert Chorus attend the event, so instead we had the wonderful Pete Storm step in to provide some Elvis and Johnny Cash numbers.
The event raised vital funds for the NSPCC.

A fabulous afternoon was had by all on Sunday at my Music in the Garden event.
Thank you to everyone who managed to come. We had over 185 visitors and we raised over £1,445 for the NSPCC.
I would like to say a special thanks to Pete Sinclair, who again hosted the afternoon and sang between acts (I especially liked his Neil Diamond!), the wonderful a cappella group Vocal Eclipse who welcomed people into the garden, the Bromley Philharmonic Choir who entertained us with songs from the 60s and 70s, the barbarshop group Bromley Male Voices, and the wonderfully entertaining Frank McConnell on his guitar.
I would also like to thank the many volunteers who gave their time to serve refreshments and man stalls.

I was delighted to welcome another 154 people to the garden for my final National Garden Scheme opening for 2018.
The weather stayed dry for us and I’m delighted to report that I raised just over £885 for the NGS.
The garden was again brought to life with live music from local musicians and I’m pleased to say the nearby airshow didn’t put off visitors coming.
Another afternoon enjoyed by all.
