Music in the Garden, 2022

Music in the Garden, 3rd July 2022

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.

NGS Open Garden, 2018

NGS Open Garden, July 2018

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.
