Lots of fun and singing was had, a light tea was put on and transport was provided.
Rachel Jones from the Brandon Trust attended the concert and wrote to say “a massive thank you to all of you for making the concert at Radstock a brilliant day for myself the group I was with. All was brilliant and no-one can argue that it wasn’t a gift for ten pounds and the food and entertainment was great. You all did brilliantly and it was a fantastic day.”
