Festival 2010 |
|
 |
|
Thank you to everyone who came along to Deddington Rocks on the 11 June 2010. We had a fabulous (and warm) evening and NO RAIN! A spectacular line up, including Indigo Child, The Skyny Nyrds, The Blue Meanies and Abba Magic, a nationally successful Abba tribute band, ensured the audience went home buzzing. We were delighted to see that people of all ages enjoyed the open air concert. See our group on facebook for photos and more.

The Community Concert took place on the 17 June. Elsa Williams wrote and produced the concert, which was a celebration of Deddington's role in World War II - the evacuees, the Land Girls, Dad's Army, Vera Lynn and the Andrews Sisters! Thanks to both Elsa and Wendy Burrows, who helped Elsa with this popular event.
Thank you to everyone who participated and attended. A special thanks also to all those residents of Deddington (past and present) who contributed to the extremely interesting and moving exhibit of war time ration books, diaries, medals, newspapers and magazines and more. Thanks to those who shared either their own stories and memories of the war or those of their courageous relatives who served at home and overseas. |
