Whats did you miss out on in March ??.

It was the perfect night in the perfect setting and our Hats Fringe Finale went off perfectly..The old Undalya Tennis courts were transformed into the Undalya Garden of unearthly delights The highlight of the night was the Old Undalya Bridge (1879) showing off in full flood lit glory for all those that attended. As the sun set on another day people gathered on the bridge for drinks & canapes before making their way into the garden where a delicious sit down dinner for 140 people was served followed by a concert by Saltwater Taffy... The kind of music that people may well have been listening too when the Bridge was built..A magic night to remember as Hats supporters family friends and past and present residents of Undalya gathered to reminiscence share memories and make new ones. Thank you all for coming I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.Special thanks to all our sponsors and Hats volunteers ..... who all had a ball and want to know when the next one is??? We leave you with a few images of this magic night.

More recently BOB was invited by John Tams to play the role of the folksinger/storyteller SONGMAN in The English National Theatre’s multi-award winning production of WARHORSE both in London’s West End 2011-2013, in the highly acclaimed and record breaking UK, Ireland and South Africa touring version 2013-2015 and the 10th Anniversary UK tour 2017-2019.
