Lucy Ward Plays

Lucy did a super set with lots of interesting takes on other artists' work, as well as her own compositions. There were two sets with an interval; quite a lot of work for one evening!
My favourite was their take of Dexy's Midnight Runners's "Come on Eileen".

Lucy Ward

Here are punters queuing to get into our Lucy Ward event. We eventually had 200 at this seated event, which gives us a useful profit, once the bar and café takings are added.

Mick in a Silly Hat!

This is Mick Hirstwood in my bowler hat! I wear it to the Steampunk events and have a lot of fun. This time I managed to get Mick to wear it and got this snap before he took it off.
Mick does a fantastic job ensuring that the electrical facilities in the building are safe.

BB Blackdog at the Pavilion

No Steampunk event would be complete without BB Blackdog appearing in the Pavilion. Here they are with their new guitarist Molly.

Village Shop of the Future?

Without your support, this is how our village services could end up; a grocery machine behind the village pub. This is great if the village shop has already gone, but I hope we don't all loose our shops to this kind of a machine.
We need to support our village services or risk losing them!
This applies to the Pavilion as well.....

Chernobyl Event

This was afterwards in the Fishpond. A really great band raised money for Chernobyl Children.

Showtime!

Here is the Wirksworth Area Community Orchestra in action at our Showtime event. A great free evening for members. It has been a good introduction to the full listing of events that we have for Matlock Bath and the surrounding area during the next six months.
Also highlighted during the evening was the Wirksworth Community Choir.
We had a well-attended evening and even managed to fight off the cold! One day we will get heating.....

Pavilion Restoration Work

Here is Peter Fox working in the new "Heritage Room". This will provide an archive and office for all the information that we have been donated by people around Matlock Bath and further afield.
We have been able to do this thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund bid. After we have finished our work, we will have an archive, of all the memories and memorabilia from the history of the Pavilion, that we have managed to find.
