Life's a pudding full of plums

Hearty congratulations to all our society's members who entered this year's Swindon Music Festival, many of whom walked away with prizes (see below). The music festival is an important part of the cultural life of Swindon and shows the world that the town has singers and musicians of the very highest calibre. So well done to Natalie, Steph, Shaun, William, Caroline, and Polly (who walked off with loads of prizes, possibly including the half-time raffle).

You can see all six of our society's champions in action in our 2014 production of The Gondoliers Wed 4th - Sat 7th June, at The Arts Centre, Old Town.

A full set of results can be found on the Swindon Music Festival website: www.swindonmusicfestival.co.uk

Well done everyone!
