SingalongaSoundofMusic - with
the Great Gustos
Totally
unprepared are you to face a world of the Great Gustos?
Yes,
that’s right, on 19th June at 8.00 pm, Furzedown will
be filled with the sound
of music once more - with songs we have sung
for a thousand years, and still not
got quite right – as we pay
homage to the great Jules herself. Dress for the Salzburg International Folk Festival, climb every mountain,
ford every stream, follow every rainbow, till you find Seely Hall. *For the uninitiated - and so that we are not challenged under the Trades
Description Act – The Great Gustos wish to make it clear that there will be
no actual showing of this film.
Confused? Timid and shy and scared are you of things beyond your ken? Come along and find out
PS – Lonely Goatherders are kindly asked to leave their goats outside. Seely
