Re: Sutton Coldfield - 3 / 11 / 2013

Hi Roger, I trust that you and yours are well. I've just looked back and realised that I have attended ten gigs in the last twelve month period that have featured Mr.Giltrap - eleven if you count tomorrow's concert at The Stables in Milton Keynes where Gordon and Oliver have a brand new support band...

Sutton Coldfield - 3 / 11 / 2013

Sunday evening, 3rd November, found Fiona and me braving the delights of the M6 motorway to Birmingham to attend a concert in the locale of Giltrap Towers. The Duke Street Church Centre was the venue - St Giles Hospice in Sutton Coldfield the beneficiary. This gig enabled Gordon to continue his supp...

The Musician, Leicester - 30 /10/ 2013

This can’t be right - Gordon Giltrap and Oliver Wakeman playing at The Musician in Leicester? Isn’t that a pub venue where all those loud heavy metal bands play? Not the sort of place for the more sophisticated sort of players surely. My son, Graham, and I pondered this as we made our way to Clyde S...

Re: Ravens and Lullabies - Summers End Festival - Lydney - 5

Thank you so much, Sue. Words really do fail me - in fact, having watched your video recording and hearing that final rendition of Heartsong - I came over a little emotional. What a gig, what a performance, what consumate professionals - and what joy on the face of that young fellow on the left surr...

Re: Ravens and Lullabies - Summers End Festival - Lydney - 5

I just knew that this would be an absolute cracker of a gig and I am so disappointed that I couldn't be there - and , it has to be said, green with envy of those that were. I'm pretty sure that a certain web mistress of our aquaintance would have been on filming duties too...........please. please, ...

hi Roger,

Sorry to hear that Em is suffering. I can empathise as I have had back problems myself since my twenties. Take care Em: trust that you feel better soon.

All best wishes

St.Mary"s Church - Bampton - 7 / 9 / 13

The weather forecast proved inaccurate – and I didn’t get wet on my two-wheeled trundle down to the picturesque village of Bampton in Oxfordshire – although the return journey was a little nippy. As I approached the magnificent edifice of St.Mary’s church, little did I realize its significance in th...

Re: Radio 2 broadcast

Missed this programme's airing on the radio as I needed an early night (busy working on Saturday - coincidentally only about ten minutes or so from Giltrap Mansions.) Fiona and I have just listened to the broadcast via the BBC i player, and, notwithstanding our natural bias, thought it excellent - a...

Hi Trevor,

You might like to re-read the forum News page for December 2012.

Florashell Needlecrafts is none other than my better half, Fiona. Thanks for the plug and the link.

Watlington - 6/7/2013 - Double Vision.

It is difficult to comprehend that it has been some four years since I visited Ickneild Community College in Watlington to see Gordon play. If memory serves a certain Mr.Burley R. was in the audience that night and it happened to be our first meeting. On this occasion my musical heroes had been team...

Packington - 8 /6 /2013

What a welcome. Never before have I been offered so much food. Within thirty seconds of my arrival at the Packington Memorial Hall a cornucopia of tempting victuals were proffered by tray bearing helpers - three different ones. Clearly I have overdone the diet and must appear anorexic. Twiddling kno...

Darley Dale - Giltrap/Wakeman - 25/5/2013

Has anyone seen my socks? Fiona and I had decided to spend a weekend away incorporating concerts in Gedling, Nottingham and Darley Dale, near Matlock. After a pleasant drive from our digs in glorious warm sunshine, we arrived to find a magnificent Victorian Gothic styled gem of a venue. The promoter...

Gedling - 24 / 5 /2013

All Hallows Church, Gedling - striking, imposing and magnificent – and the place to be to enjoy a return musical visit by one G.Giltrap. As a result of his commitments with the young Mr. Wakeman, it was also the first time we had seen Gordon perform solo for some time. The first people we saw on arr...
