Swans will blow you away
Eaton Bray music lovers hope to be blown away this winter when a talented wind quintet plays the village hall.
The musicians are members of Orchestra Of The Swan, a groundbreaking group frequently praised in The Telegraph and The Guardian.

The programme is being run to bring high quality music to audiences across the county. Gershwin favourites such as The Man I Love and Nice Work if You Can Get It will be combined with classics from composers like Profokiev and Patterson in what promises to be a stunning musical medley.
The performance is on Saturday January 30 at Eaton Bray Village Hall.
