The weather forecast is for golden evening sunshine after a hot day.

 

We have a great evening line up for you.

Musicians include the Andy Bowie Jazz Trio, Tom Ling, Ranjan Vasudevan  and Pete Towers with his amazing sink guitar who will all  play summer music to us as we swim and picnic. (Swimming to live music is an experience not to be missed!) Singers from  ReSound and Good Vibrations Choir, Global Harmony Community Singers, Milton Road Primary School and Shout Aloud  will sing poolside and the evening will end with a poolside community singalong of Summer and Watery songs with backing band, with lyric sheets provided.

Tickets cost £7, (£5 concessions for people on a low income, £3 for school age children) at the door, or phone 01223 573288, email talkingintune@ntlworld.com to beat the queue.

Bring along your picnics (no glass bottles please), swimming kits, rugs and blankets; Yummy Home-made cakes and snacks will be on sale  for WaterAid .  The pool cafe will also be open. Inflatable crocodiles, whales and dolphins etc   are welcome and synchronised swimming and singing will be encouraged!

Please note: the pool will close for public swimming at 5.30pm on the day.  If you are already there, and wish to stay sitting poolside (the pool itself will be swimmer-free for half an hour to give the staff a break) , you are welcome to do that – we will come and sell you tickets !

Access to clean water is something we take for granted here and this is a chance to acknowledge this and celebrate the fantastic atmosphere of Jesus Green  Pool. All the musicians are playing for free and, all the proceeds will be donated to fund Water Aid, providing access to clean water to families and communities in Ghana and Malawi.www.wateraid.org/uk
