Cheltenham Connections
Daytime Concerts have been held at the Cheltenham Town Hall Pillar
Room and are aimed at presenting good quality musical entertainment for those
who may
have difficulty attending evening events. Access equals inclusion so these
concerts are open to disabled and non-disabled participants. Disabled and older
people are particularly welcome and it may
be possible to arrange transport for wheelchair users within the Cheltenham area.
These concerts
have been, until recently, booked to capacity every time by local day centres in
the county and their service users and this has made the concerts self
sustaining. They are supported by Art Shape and while they have been popular
over the last 20 years they never existed to make a profit.
With the closure
of many Day Centres the number of people attending the concerts was
reduced considerably.
Following the
response to the last press release from Art Shape and an interview with David
Smith on BBC Radio Gloucestershire lamenting the possible demise of the
concerts due to poor attendance, the concert in June saw attendance figures
swell to near capacity once again.
We are pleased to
announce the continuation of this established, well loved and lively event with
the next concert on Friday, October 26th
2012 at Cheltenham Town Hall Pillar Room from 11.15 am - 1 pm featuring ‘Itchy Feet’…
