Jacob Serenades After Hours

Accomplished violinist, Jacob Keet and friends played to an absolutely packed audience at After Hours Live in June. Jacob is an excellent violin player and is a member of the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra. He played several pieces, but he was not along. Indeed the night featured an array of talented singers and musicians from in and around the Wisbech area of all ages. These included: Thomas Clarkson Academy Srtings; The Wisbech Community Choir, The Wisbech Buskers, and Loc Mai and Gabriel Fitzsimmons on keyboard.

The evening too the audience on a musical journey from the Middle Ages up tot he present day, guiding the audience on a musical journey across Europe.

This was the first time After Hours Live had hosted an evening of classical music and based on its success, will definitely be having another one.

July sees 'The Ragtag Misfits' take to the After Hours Live stage at Octavia's Cafe in Wisbech. It is set to be a fun filled night so do please come and join us. Find out more on the After Hours Live website.

My Friend Paul

Friday 13th December 2014 saw a host of Wisbech talent take to the stage in support of the charity 'My Friend Paul'. Orgainsed by teacher Jacob Keet, who is also a member of our church, the event was a fantastic celebration and featured musicians from different parts of the community including Thomas Clarkson Academy Strings, Wisbech Community Children's Choir, Wisbech Grammar School Flute Trio, the Clarkson Singers, Wisbech Community Choir and an amazingly talented young harpist Rosie Scott. Our church was also represented by Jacob, Alan and Clive who played violin and accordian to some very rousing Eastern Eurpoean pieces.

The event was held in St Peter's and St Paul's church in the heart of Wisbech. Just over £500 was raised for 'My Friend Paul', a charity who supports a family of orphaned children in Kenya. Find out more about the charity at myfriendpaul.org
