Opera Dudes "Mission Improbable" at Rennington

3rd September 2011, Rennington Village Hall

Rennington Village Hall

The Opera dudes were here a year ago with Highlights Rural Touring

We had a great time, but unfortunately there were only 28 in the audience ;-( ..... Anne Watson who organizes the events told us it was the word "OPERA" that had discouraged them from coming.
There may have only been 28 but they sure enjoyed the Opera Dudes - so much so that they invited us back this year and booked us privately!
Anne and the other 28 went out into their community and spread the word "don't let the word "OPERA" put you off!!"

Anne did a great job, they sold out!
The Opera Dudes plus "Hog Roast" mmmmm yummy.

The Opera dudes Scarecrows (  The Wicker Man )

To our amazement when we arrived,  there were two effigies ( sorry  scarecrows ) of us outside the Village Hall complete with Tuxedo's, piano and microphones. " Spooky" is not the word! Apparently there is a  well known local competition every year and this year we were the stars. It felt a little like the "Wicker Man"

We had a fabulous night, from the first moment on stage to the last. A true Northumberland welcome! Thanks to all and we will see you next year so

       And here is the lady herself in this video i shot, the Dudes scarecrow builder Anne Watson!!

PS: Thanks to John and Pat for letting us stay with you, you were the perfect host's!!

If you get the chance to go to Northumberland, then do!! It is a fabulous part of our country and you will not dissapointed. But be careful if you go to Rennington you may end up in the "festival."
