 "A Taste of Exning" – July 15, 2017

A new cooking competition? Maybe a book of local recipes?

No. The “taste” was a variety performance (mainly musical) of Exning’s home-grown talent

It was part of the Newmarket Festival of music and took place in St Martin’s Church in Exning on the evening of Saturday July 15th

It proved to be a very eclectic mix of music with participants ranging in age from 10 to 70!

The photos below give a visual record of the evening

The opening act was the “MBC JAC Trio” performing:

• ‘Fever’ (Cooley/Davenport);
• ‘Cry Me A River’ (Hamilton);
• ‘Summertime’ (Gershwin)
