The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham
On the evening of Saturday 19th February the Fakenham Ukes had the privilege of entertaining The Walsingham Partnership. The evening was a wonderful success enjoyed by both the supportive audience and the Ukulele players.
We received some great feedback following our gig at The Shrine in Walsingham a couple of weeks ago. Apologies for the delay in posting this, but I’m sure you’ll agree it’s worth the wait….
‘……A MASSIVE THANK YOU to you and all the band for providing excellent end of dinner entertainment on Saturday evening. Needless to say it was received by all exceedingly well - they were buzzing at breakfast on Sunday morning. Feedback was all very good. Special thanks to Alan too… I loved the 3 verses of The Pilgrim Hymn. I suspect it must have touched most of the pilgrims present as they’ve not heard that for the past 2 years! Wonderful. Once again many thanks for making our weekend very special.’
