In Weston village hall last Saturday was the big gig and big gig for kids. The kids were on in the afternoon. As with any good village event there were tea and cakes on sale, some of which were homemade. Only 2 acts turned up in the end, a group of girls who dance and one girl who sang a solo. Brian Dawson did a couple of Beatles songs on the piano then everyone went home. Apparently there were 4 more acts who didn't turn up, and if they had that would have made a good show. I don't know why there wasn't a better turnout. I would have thought a talent show for kids would have been more popular but maybe it got overshadowed by the adults big gig later on. Hopefully it won't put the organisers off putting on events like this in the future. Some people say that it wasn't well advertised but I disagree. There must be people going round the village with their eyes shut. I just hope they weren't driving.
The big gig itself in the evening was a success. There was a good turnout for the audience, mainly adults and older children. They had a group of older guys who played blues type music and they were very accomplished musicians. Then they had 3 duos of a bloke playing a guitar and a woman singing. That was the only similarity between the 3 duos, musically they were very different. In the evening the tea and cakes were gone and replaced with a bar and there were little pots of peanuts on the table. A good time was had by all.
