| Four members of the band. |
The Bijou Toots concert at Chilton Church on Saturday
evening attracted a large audience on what turned out to be quite a wild and
windy night.
The band, which plays on ukuleles and other instruments such
an accordion, kazoos and washboards, entertained us
with a wide variety of instrumental pieces and songs dating from the 1920s to
the present day . It might be thought
that only rather folksy items lend themselves to this combination of
instruments, but in fact a broad range of pieces of different types were played to good
effect. Helped along by the acordion, items from Russia and France
sounded particularly authentic.
The newly installed oil lamps (Chilton Church has no
electricity), meant that the group was more or less visible throughout the evening
and a good time was had by all.
The event was organised by the Friends of St Mary’s
Church. The next event at the Church is
a walk, followed by Songs of Praise on Sunday 1st July. Details are available on Chilton Parish Website.
