Music and Theatre in Hay and Moccas

 Moccas Church are having a free event on Friday 13th August at 7.15pm.  They are showing the famous silent film Metropolis, with live organ music by Father Richard Williams.  Father Richard has accompanied silent films on the organ before, in St Mary's Church in Hay - I've seen wonderful performances of Nosferatu and A Cottage on Dartmoor, so that should be great fun.

Meanwhile in Hay, Hay Music are having their Mini Festival this coming weekend, from 6 - 8th August.  

They start with a children's percussion session on Friday afternoon at 3.30pm at the Globe (£5 per child), with the Oriole Quartet performing at St Mary's Church later that evening, at 7pm, tickets £15 each, students £7.50.

On Saturday the Flora Brass Quintet are performing at 3pm at St Mary's Church, tickets £10, students £5, followed by the Bloody Brothers at 8.30pm at the Globe, also £10 and £5.

On Sunday the Odora Piano Trio are at St Mary's Church at 3pm, tickets £12.50 and £6.25.

It's nice to see live music returning to Hay - and such good quality, too.

And at Cusop Church, there will be a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, following the action around the churchyard (the audience is asked to bring their own seats).  That's at 7.30pm on Friday 13th, 2.30pm and 7.30pm Saturday 14th and 2.30pm Sunday 15th August (with a possibility of a 7.30pm performance if rain stops play earlier).  Tickets are £10 and £8, with under 16 year olds free.
