Hullavington Community News 12 February

Gigs, Giggles and Gossip

Rosemary Squires is coming to entertain us at Hullavington Village Hall, along with celebrity pianist Brian Dee, on Saturday 28 February at 8pm. Together, they celebrate 60 years of popular song with anecdotes, monologues, music and song. These two artistes each have an international reputation and are visiting under the auspices of Rural Art Wiltshire with a family show of music and fun. The bar opens at 7:30pm and drinks will also be on sale in the interval. Tickets, with concessions for families, are available from Anna Durrant (01666) 837569.
Poetry Group

Aspiring Hullavington poets produced a range of poignant poems for this month’s theme, ”Love and Death”. The poems of Emily Dickinson also fitted into the theme and gave plenty of food for thought despite their brevity. Next month will be a first for the group, when live guest poet, John Osborne MBE, will be performing his poems in the village Hall on Wednesday 4 March at 2pm. His witty narrative finds amusement in the everyday life of  a farmer, and it will be an entertaining afternoon for everyone, even if poetry is not always to your taste. Contact Eileen Fry (01666) 838793 for more details.
