         THREE COUNTIES SWING BAND

The Band was started by two school teachers, Gary Wells  and Tom Forward, in 1996.
It has grown steadily since then to become the fine Band it is today.

It specialises in playing the original arrangements, when available, of Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and various other big bands of the Swing Era.

Kevin Dunn, our Musical Director and drummer (& multi-instrumentalist!) is also an accomplished arranger and
writes for the Band.

Our aim is to continue playing the type of music that both we and our audiences enjoy

A truly unique and authentic Latin extravaganza ready to transport you straight to Brazil, with melodic lines and diverse rhythms that will see you “dancing until dawn!”


Orpheus, comprises of six musicians based in Devon, all well respected artists in their own right with wide ranging individual backgrounds in jazz, classical music, blues, rock, pop, soul/funk  and gospel, and brought together by a mutual love of Brazilian music.


The group play a potent mix of uplifting sambas and stunning bossa novas to sell out shows which have been well received by audiences of all ages. Ecuadorian/Swedish singer Annika brings authenticity to the performances by singing the songs in their native written language of Portuguese.

Jade Gall – flute/sax, Gary Evans – drums and Colin Seddon – percussion.

RENAISSANCE CHORUS
      
Ladies A cappella group from Exmouth

Our group started a little over 11 years ago with only 8 enthusiastic members and a wonderful Musical director, Maire Hoppins and now we have over 40 members and are going from strength to strength.  During the years, as we progressed with our music, we have entered many competitions and festivals.  We have won Exeter Music Festival on numerous occasions, have competed twice in the Jersey International Choral Competition coming a very respectable second in our class and have travel to Sligo for a wonderful fun-filled weekend of singing and fund raising for Sligo Men’s Barbershop Chorus.

We sing all over East Devon for fun, entertainment and funding raising for charities and have now made two C.D’s with profits of our latest album, “And so it goes....” going to Freewheelers Emergency Voluntary Service the registered charity that provides a free out-of-hours motorcycle courier service to hospitals in the South West of England.

Our style of music is very eclectic; we sing  songs ranging from “Le Canon” to Adele’s version of that wonderful Bob Dylan song “To make you feel my love”

We are very pleased to be asked to sing at Dalwood Music Day and hope that weather holds and everyone has a wonderful time.

                                               Shirley & Sharon at Dalwood Music Day 2016








                                  THE KROFT ORIGINALS - hosts of Dalwood Music Day

                  
The Kroft Originals started about 14 years ago as a small group of 4 friends just singing for fun & trying out
a few harmonies.

We have expanded since then - in every sense of the word!!


Taking part in our very first concert in Dalwood was so nerve-racking that we resorted to taking very little sips!!!!

of the famous sherry from a plastic bottle.... Hence the name!

We now get bookings to entertain at various celebrations - lunches, Christmas parties & local concerts etc.

and we have performed at the Arts Cafe Festival  (Arts in the Garden) for about 9 years.

The money we raise goes to Charity. We have supported Devon Air Ambulance, Devon Freewheelers &

the new Hospicecare Centre in Honiton and The Project (another local organisation) & Children's Hospice Southwest

We still sing for fun of course - and we still try out a few harmonies.

We welcome you to our 7th Music Festival and hope you have a lovely Day!
