Our first concert in the delightful Gretton Village Hall was full to capacity. After a terrific tea, the audience was treated to a wide-ranging programme including “New York, New York”, a spirited rendering of “An American in Paris” and the Finale from Stravinsky’s “The Firebird”. Also the Rusty Strings played the famous “Palladio” by Sir Karl Jenkins.
