Tonight’s performance at The Captain’s Club
The audience for the 18th night of the Advent Calendar was given a warm welcome at The Captains Club and wonderfully entertained by the assembled saxophones lead by Sarah Bolter as a suitably lounge friendly evening.
A cheque for £500 was presented to Peter Holway of NCI (National Coastguard Institution) Hengistbury Head by Kelvin Medley-Jones, the sponsor for the evening to go with the money collected by donations and tickets sold for the raffle at the end of the evening.
Our thanks again to Sarah and The Captains Club for another amazing evening and looking forward to tomorrow’s performance now changed to The George Inn in the centre of Christchurch.

19th December’s surprise performers:
Sarah Bolter: Not Just Sax
Sarah is a local freelance musician and teacher. Sarah plays the sax/clarinet and flute and sings and performs either as a solo artist or in a multitude of different combinations including running her own bands ‘Not Just Sax’ and ‘Sax In The City’.
Sarah passion is jazz, so the Christmas solo performance was ‘well known’ favourites with a jazzy twist!
