Congratulations Laura and Nicholas

The first weekend of July saw our first visit to Stanton Manor near Chippenham, to play for the wedding of Laura and Nicholas. The couple had personalised their wedding by choosing music for Laura’s entrance, but had left the other choices to our discretion. We knew that Nina Simone’s classic “My Baby Just Cares for Me” was one of their particular favourites, so we surprised the newlyweds by playing a special arrangement of this as they left the ceremony!

We then played other pop song arrangements and jazz standards out on the lawn whilst guests mingled with Pimms and watched the photos being taken of the happy couple. Several young children came to watch us playing up close – and seemed particularly mesmerized by the size and sound of Dury’s cello!
