I reopened my garden on Sunday 3rd July for my annual, and very popular, Music in the Garden event
Top crooner Peter Sinclair returned as host for the afternoon, crooning a few numbers himself and was followed by a fantastic lively set by Santino accompanied by his acoustic guitar. We were then treated to a set by George Tormann’s London Concert Chorus, who sang songs including from ‘What a Wonderful World‘, ‘You’ve got a Friend in Me‘ and ‘A Thousand Years‘. We also had a debut appearance from Zara-Louise, who gave us an acoustic set on her guitar whilst welcoming visitors into the garden.
I also had a very special visit from the Mayor of Bromley, Cllr Hannah Gray.
The afternoon raised an impressive £2,140 for the NSPCC.
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 opened my garden twice in Summer for the National Garden Scheme; 8th and 19th July 20218. The weather stayed dry for both days 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 the wonderful a cappella group Vocal Eclipse and local musicians which included Frank McConnell, The Scratch Band., Keith Halford, Derek McGonigle and Ivan & Freda. Another couple of afternoons enjoyed by all.
