Dallington Songs on the Sugarloaf 2010

Songs on the Sugarloaf 2010 took place on Saturday 10th July at Woods Corner, Dallington. The evening featured a brilliant line up of local talent, including Grass Roots (Bluegrass), Cornflower Blue (Folk), Quintasia (Harmony), Katie Ault (Classical) and Got Milk, (Rock Covers) and a firework finale.The event was well attended, with many turning up with picnics or taking advantage of the barbecue and drinks stall in the arena.

Grass Roots is a talented local Blue Grass group that has been together for years (and years!).

Rushlake Green's own Cornflower Blue brought their unique mix of songs, many their own compositions, and this time included a couple of seamless meddlies of classic numbers from the 50s and 60s.

Quintasia sang harmony versions of songs new and old, including a novel version of the ELO single 'Mr Blue Sky'.

You had to be there

Katie Ault, voice like an angel, added a touch of class with her unique operatic repertoire.

Got Milk had the audience on it's feet with their modern take on classic rock and pop hits from past decades. Even more impressive as drummer and bassist were last minute stand-ins when two band members had to cancel at short notice.

Sparkling finale

A Midsummer Nights Dream by William Shakespeare

Performed by the Rushlake Green Village Players, on the village green. 24th - 26th June 2010

The Village Players performed each night, in a specially constructed auditorium space created on the village green, to near capacity audiences of enthusiastic local supporters. The following images sum up the jovial atmosphere, the delightful humour and the dramatic authenticity of the highly accomplished performances that each night began in the barmy heat of late evening, continued as dramatically the sun set over the Weald, and drew to a close under a warm, dark, blanket of stars.
