Other Gumph and Reviews etc.

Ange Hardy is coming to a Somerset village hall near you! Don't miss out on the chance to see Ange performing in these small and intimate venues. With tickets at £5 this is incredible value entertainment.

We're going to light some candles, make sure the bar is well stocked, and encourage you to join her for an incredible evening of beautiful acoustic music.

Ange uses her honest and exposed lyrics combined with a stunning vocal performance and delicate guitar picking to tell the songs behind her story and the stories behind her songs.

Ange has been compared to artists including Katie Melua, Eva Cassidy, Suzanne Vega and Kate Rusby. It's easy to see why!

The evening can best be summed up by the person who said, 'Ange's voice moved me to tears'
- The Ilminster Arts Center
I can sit in a candlelit room and get lost in your music Ange. Truly wonderful!
- Ian Brough
Just a guitar and a voice! This is the victory of music in what music is supposed to do; telling a story, creating a feeling, an inner landscape, a little universe. Bravo!
- Frankfurt Dialog Company
Nowadays, it is common for songs to be over-produced, so for me it is comforting to hear the simplicity that can be found in Ange's honest and exposed vocals and lyrics, as well as some nice guitar playing with a very confident delivery
- Doug Parish for the 'Mid Devon Gazette'

The new notice board showing a map of the village and walks was installed at the entrance to the school and village hall and the commemorative photo was taken.  Here are some of the people who were around at the time and were involved in the development

 

This was the photo they were posing for which appears in the Western Gazette

Let there be light,  well more light, bulbs were changed in the church indoor lighting system and as a result the vicar could see his congregation.  it would appear from a reply the Vicar is very pleased with the results......!
