ARTSREACH returns to Portesham Village Hall on Saturday, January 16 commencing at 8.00pm after a break of four months and this entertainment will be suitable for all ages.

It is 10 years since Barbara Fraser took on the booking of Artsreach shows for Portesham and what an brilliant job she does including acting as host to these artistes in her own home to make their visit here special.

The first musical performance for 2010 will be The Budapest Café Orchestra, the group sold out at three of the venues back in November and Barbara has already taken bookings from people outside Portesham keen to see them perform again!

The performers cast an intoxicating spell on all who experience their performances and the musicians are Eddie Hession on free bass accordion, Julian Arnott on violin, Kelly Cantlon on double bass, Adrian Zolotuhin on guitar. and Portesham’s favourite, Chris Garrick on violin.

Do come along, tickets are now on sale at Portesham Post Office, or Barbara on 01305 871780.
