Performance for the Friendship Group, Finborough Court, March 2026

What a wonderful afternoon of music, singing enhanced with poetry & fun coupled with warmth & wit. We loved the way you played your harp & flute in such a beautiful way enhanced by your delightful personalities which produced such a memorable concert immensely enjoyed by our Friendship Group, sheltered housing at Finborough Court. Thank you so much for compiling an amazing mix of songs & musical items which we all enjoyed & already love reminiscing about.

Also I wanted to mention there were so many extra touches & experiences our Friendship Group enjoyed during & after Adriene & Anne entertained us with their musical talent . Adriene had composed a sonnet & quiz which was so cleverly presented ; also after they played music from old films she quizzed us about them which stimulated our long term memories.
Adriene bought along her amazing & intricate art work in the firm of greeting cards & larger prints & canvasses which a number of our housing family purchased.
A few of our audience enjoyed Anne allowing them to have a go playing her harp after the concert; it was wonderful to see the joy this brought to them.
We must book Angels Delight to entertain us again next year. We have many beautiful memories to treasure.

“Recollections of The Great War 1914-1918”

A play to mark the Centenary of World War 1 was performed in aid of “You Are Not Alone”, the Mental Health Charity for Farming and Rural Residents, at Crow’s Hall, Debenham, Suffolk on 11^th November 2018. This moving play opened with a scene set in a “Palace of Varieties”, just before the outbreak of the War.

Adriene Ellis on Flute, with Anne Chorley playing Harp, gave a most convincing performance of pre-1914 music that would have been heard in Music Halls of the time. The clear tone of Adriene Ellis’ flute soaring to the rafters of the Barn combined with the rippling notes of Anne Chorley’s Celtic Harp enthralled the audience. The music ranged from “Down at the Old Bull and Bush”, “The Pipes of Pan”, “Love’s Old Sweet Song” to “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo”, thus giving a good sense of the period. The charming talented Duo greatly enhanced the performance and enjoyment of the play”.
