On the 3rd Floor, Federation House, Stoke

It's so good to be posting again and here we are on the 3rd Floor, The Potters Club in Federation House opposite Stoke Station in Stoke-on-Trent.  Its a fabulous venue for weddings and we congratulate our bride and groom Karen and Kenn and wish them many years of happiness together.

My thanks goes to Kate Spiers (seen on the left) who saved the day for me when my music folder decided to close on me as I was mid-flow the Vivaldi's Four Seasons.  It was a tricky moment and I could not stop playing to sort the music, so I was very grateful to my wonderful second violinist (who has just joined the team) as she sorted my folder during counting her bars of rest.  We are very versatile you know. 

Catherine Porter joined us on Viola and played beautifully.  The viola features quite a few times during the pieces and she played her solos with great projection and feeling.  She is a very valued member of the team and we are delighted to have her.

Lastly I would like to mention our newly appointed cellist who stepped up to the mark and contributed with some beautiful cello playing.  All in all it was a fabulous occasion and we were delighted when the Bride and Groom sent us this.
