  • Wicked happenings at the Halloween dance at Cornwall Street last Friday night, 29th Oct 2010.!



  • Walter will be substituting his key board for his accordion!! He will be the main attraction at the Console Club at the 'CONN-SOLE THEATRE ORGAN CLUB' on the 27th June 2010 . You will hear Walter play music as you have never heard him play before. Unrestricted by the strict tempo of dance music, Walter will be free to express himself through his accordion music as only he can do.

Walter can really make his accordion sing!!

The Conn-Sole Theatre Organ Club was formed in 1973. Their monthly music afternoons are held on the FOURTH SUNDAY AFTERNOON  of the month, in ST JOACHIM’S CATHOLIC CHURCH HALL, at 24 Crown Street, Holland Park, starting at 2.00pm. All visitors are very welcome!!

This is what the June 2010 edition of their Club news letter states:

"THE MUSICMAN

Walter has just returned from an extensive tour of Europe and plans to base his performance on the countries he visited.

We have enjoyed his generous support for many years now and always look forward to his day on stage.

Walter visited Amsterdam and Budapest amongst many other places and has some fabulous times to relate to you in music.

We expect a full house for Walter as usual so come along and enjoy the day with us."

 

 

  • Our 20th Anniversary Ball photos below. Our Ball, was held on Friday 26th February 2010. It was a great success!  This Red (Joyce's Favourite Colour) Theme ball was a tribute to the late Joyce Hawkins, the founder of our dance. 

    Joyce Hawkins - Cornwall St Dance Founder.

 

What a night! 118 people showed their support in joining together for a rare celebration of 20 continuous years of a weekly dance.
 The parish priest addressed the patrons at supper, giving a brief history of  Henry and Joyce, and what the impact of the Dance 
had in the region over the 20 years. The fellow in the top hat with the lady in red were the duke and duchess of Cornwall.....
