For those of you with good memories or who are such avid followers of our adventures that you just know everything about our general Magnificentness, you may already be aware of our connections with MJ-UK Music & Arts, a youth theatre group based in nearby Cirencester.
Last year the Blokes did a fund raising concert with them in Bingham Hall in the capital of the cotswolds, and this year they are doing another one of their amazing shows, a new production of a new musical that recently completed a decent sized run in that there London Town, called "The Clockmaker's Daughter".
Reports from those in the know describe it as a blend of Les Misérables + elements of Sondheim + Disney, all with a local cast of terrifically (curmudgeons would say sickeningly) talented group of youngsters. They are all working very hard to make it a great show, so

And maybe you will see one or two familiar faces there (most likely near the bar!).
The lads are back in action again this very Saturday night (you can watch Strictly later...) as part of a fund raiser for local good causes.
The event sees us teaming up again with some of the ridiculously talented MJ-UK crowd who we worked with in the summer for the World War 1 Commemorative event, and also some of our singing chums in the Cirencester Community Choir.
Also appearing are another Ashton Keynes Music Festival success story, the Ukeydukes, the ukelele group from AK.
All in all a great little show for the bargain rate of £5 (Under 14 free) so we look forward to seeing some familiar faces there.
