communication with music: Snape Maltings Dome stage ( 31/7/21 & 1/08/21)

 

Really enjoyed outdoor concerts both saturday and sunday ( 31/07/2021 & 1/08/2021). It was good fun. What's lovely about was that be outdoor with people and listening to great music😁. Again, we met some lovely people and had chat and smile. 

On Saturday, band members were quite international, from eastern Europe, Greece and Turkey....there should've been a few more members, however, due to Covid regulations, they weren't able to make it, shame. Members who were not able to get to U.K were either not able to come in or come out from their country. How nuisance Covid is, still affects ( still early days....) to a lots of us. Anyway, they played fantastic music, and made everyone smile and feeling happy😊 I was! With a huge grinning face! 

They were called "Turbans". They played Turkish/Greek music. Loved it! So unique! Guy in the yellow outfit came off the stage and made some people stood up and dance! I was one of them. And I managed to get dance ( a little bit) a few young people who were sitting in front of us. These kids were very polite. One of them said to me " I don't want to block views"Cor, blimey, I thought myself, " when I was your age, I was standing right front of stages and dance, and drunk a lot!😆" Is that sign of old age? When you start conversation with " when I was your age..." Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard that before. I always thought old people say things like that, then I am saying it now.....😅Things change....

Anyway, It rained during the live, but the most of audience were prepared. Putting their waterproof jackets on and off umbrella open and close....I was wearing a huge changing robe ( RED robe, like DRYROBE) so warm and dry. Such a handy robe, not only can wear on the beach, but also occasion like outdoor concert. I am Happy with my purchase😆And Turbans, thank you very much for fun evening!

On Sunday, we went to see Indian man from Leeds called " Jasdeep Singh Degun" ( https://www.jasdeepsinghdegun.com) Played an hour Raag with his friend who played tabla also excellent musician who came from Kent. 😄 Both of them came from far away to get here in Suffolk. We enjoyed very much. Started off slow and gentle then time to time, music got faster and more tablet going too. It was excellent.  Taking us to journey of the sound. When it was finished, I felt it didn't feel like an hour passed. I wanted to listen more... I do like listening to Raag, a bit like sound bath of sitar and tabla, really relaxing. I closed my eyes listening to it and imagining I was on a beautiful beach on sunset. 😇Like Turbans, I could feel these guys really enjoying playing and sharing their music, it was pleasure to be there. Thank you very much for wonderful evening! 

These concerts were just brilliant, and free! 

Love talking to people, seeing smiley & friendly faces. We saw a few people who were there previously. We have booked a few  more till the end of August, So, might see same people again?                                                      

Snape Malting is quite close to us, only 10 mins or so in a car.

So, we are making the most of what we have here. This summer, we are enjoying "staycation" locally. Everyday is holiday!  😁
