Creative Oundle International Festival

And some more - hope you got home safely, guys. Till next year!

Some of our fabulous punters at Party at the Wharf. We had such a blast, thank you all for coming! Till next year.

Party at the Wharf kicks off - about half the audience settled in and enjoying the B List.

Francesca Massey playing Bruhns at Fotheringhay. Beautiful music in a beautiful place. We’re so lucky to have the Oundle for Organists tutors giving their time and expertise.

@QuireMemes Sopranos, could you sound a bit more like boys here?

There’s hope yet for the weather! Wellies advisable but keep thinking good thoughts for a sunny Party at the Wharf ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

We are looking forward to this!!!!

Saturday’s ☔️ ☔️ weather may need some British stoicism (then again, forecasts aren’t always right!) but we absolutely plan to go ahead with Party at the Wharf. If the winds pick up, we have various safety mitigations to put in place. The music will play!

This is Francesca Massey’s ‘big finish’ at #Fotheringhay on Saturday: Egil Hovland: Toccata on Now Thank We All Our God youtu.be/2S6R2vn78Ww. Coffee available from 1030 and a hugely enjoyable 45 minute organ recital at 11! Come one, come all.

The stage is set and harpsichord tuned and ready for the Goldberg Variations, Fotheringhay Church. Starts at 8. Free entry.

Get a load of this! - @Croc_Mock , performing live at Party at the Wharf THIS SATURDAY. Over a thousand tickets sold, but there’s still space - get your tix here: creativeoundle.co.uk/events/party-a… 🎵 🎵 🕺🏿🕺🏿 youtu.be/KZ1df4Ju6AU

We’re really looking forward to welcoming @danecomedian for Friday’s Comedy Night. He says he’s still not entirely sure Oundle is a real place. We assure you, Dane, we’re here and we’re real 😂 😂

Tomorrow’s festival organ recital will be given by Joseph Beech, sub-organist at Durham Cathedral. Come and hear the Schumanns, husband and wife, J S Bach and Buxtehude on the famous #Frobenius organ. 1pm. Gratis. creativeoundle.co.uk/events/lunchti…

So excited that @danecomedian joins us for Friday’s Comedy Night, fresh from supporting @tomallencomedy. He reckons he’s the world’s only Irish, Indian, gay comedian (any contenders, please DM us 😂 😂). Come and get your dose of laughs at the QVH in Oundle.

Our first festival event next week is the superb @DCJPipeOrganist playing a tea-time organ recital at Titchmarsh, 4.30pm, Monday. He plays Smart’s Postlude in D - it’s a TUNE with a capital T!! Also, the tea and cake at this event is LEGENDARY. Free entry creativeoundle.co.uk/events/tea-tim…

Did you know that William Byrd died exactly 400 years ago yesterday? Francesca Massey will play his Fantasia in C at Fotheringhay church on Saturday week at 11am - come and raise a glass (well, tea and coffee are on offer…) to him then! Free admission. creativeoundle.co.uk/events/coffee-…

We can’t wait to host @carolinemce_ at our Comedy Night, next Friday. She hails from Northern Ireland and promises to try not to murder the pronunciation of Oundle 😂 😂

Oundle’s very own @farahsharp_ , fresh from the stage of @comedystoreuk, joins us for her 2nd ever comedy performance in Oundle. She tells us “I can’t wait to come back! It’s always a delight to overshare about my personal life in front of my old school teachers”. 😂 😂
