St. Audries Bay

News posted on the 3rd May 07

We are delighted to announce the great news about the organ & keyboard festival planned for this summer taking place at St. Audries Bay, near Minehead, Somerset. To be hosted by Penny Weedon, it will be taking place from Saturday 7th - Saturday 14th July 2007 and is absolutely packed with loads of great artists and ideas, including a special coach trip to Bristol to visit Byron Jones on the Wednesday.

Events at St. Audries Bay are well-known for the relaxing atmosphere and easy-going style. Day's are normally started with a hearty breakfast and the 3-course meals in the evening are sumptuous. The location lends to lovely walking along the beach or inland into the Quantock Hills. There is a heated swimming pool for those not brave enough to swim in the sea.

Artists attending are Howard Beaumont, Michael McAneny, Penny Weedon, Sarah Foley, Peter Shaw and on the final night Brett Wales.

In addition to this, you are invited to bring along your keyboard to take part in Penny's orchestra. There will be competitions, a music quiz, tuition and demonstrations. The event will also be attended by the usual team of Eric & Sylvia with Nick Swift from Swift Music and also Paul Carman from Hinckley Music.

Costs for half board are £275 per person and there are other options available including touring pitches at £17 per night (plus £35 per person festival charge)

Once again St. Audries will be a great summer event and for further information on the venue, take a look at their website at www.staudriesbay.co.uk or contact them direct on 01984 632515 or email mrandle@staudriesbay.co.uk
