The Aspidistra Drawing Room Orchestra gave a wonderful concert of Palm Court Music at Powerstock Hut on Saturday and Sunday 26/27 of April.
Aspidistra has been praised for its joyful interpretation of this once fashionable light music from before the war. With string quartet, piano, flute and oboe they recreate the glamour of the Palm Court Orchestras that gave pleasure and hope to previous generations in difficult times.
The orchestra visited the village in 2007 and took part in the Powerstock music festival. Further information on the ensemble can be found on their web page: www.aspidistra.org
