Issue No. 109 August 31st 20165 The Kingsdon Festival & Fete The three day Festival was once again a great success with exciting and diverse music on all three nights. Evening on Day 1 had the delightful Breeze entertain us with her beauti- ful voice, many have asked if we can have her back for the next Festival. Saturday Evening Day 2 and the fabulous Kingsdon Big Band, arranged by our own Keith Thomas, entertained us. The 15 brilliant musicians were accompanied by the delightful and enchanting voice of Heather Wensley. Heather’s extensive per- forming experience ranges from five star hotels, in the Mediterranean, to jazz clubs and session work, per- forming bossa nova, soul, jazz, folk and big band swing; influenced by artists as diverse as Ella Fitzger- ald, Nina Simone and Chaka Khan. This was the 4th performance of the Kingsdon Big Band here in Kingsdon since their first performance in 2002 for the Queens Golden Jubilee. Will we see the Big Band next year? Watch this space!
