Here is GFG’s Report to the World About Loosely Woven’s Joyful Performance in Gunning posted on Facebook after the Event.

What a miscellany of fun and enjoyment the nineteen singers and musicians of the Sydney-based Loosely Woven ensemble delivered to a delighted audience in the Gunning Shire Hall on Thursday afternoon.  A mixture of folk, pop, rock and roll, protest songs, music hall and opera followed one after the other – all performed with enthusiasm and joy.  Highlights included:

🎸       The best rendition of Scarborough Fair I have heard in my life– faithful to the original but sung with an operatic influence;

🎸     Bizet’s Pearl Fishers Duet by an alto and soprano (rather than the usual male voices) which got a sustained standing ovation;

🎸  A violinist doing vocals while playing at the same time – something I have never seen before;

🎸  We welcomed residents and staff from Newhaven Lodge to their first concert in Gunning;

🎸  And in another first, GFG’s Tim Duck-trained lighting technicians used the new Council-owned stage lighting gear to add extra atmosphere to Loosely Woven’s really excellent show.

Loosely Woven enjoyed playing in our hall and appreciated the audience’s enthusiasm.  Both they and GFG are keen for them to return in the future.
