One thing that the orchestra needs is a group of Friends to support us! If you are a gregarious type of person, with lots of contacts in the community and would like to support the orchestra in a practical way, why not volunteer to create a GSO Friends?  Friends typically subscribe and receive priority bookings, a complimentary programme, an occasional newsletter and have their name in the programme. Volunteers please click on the link below to contact our Orchestra Chairman, Deirdre Perry for more information.

 “The Barnyard Bandidos”, are a “wannabe Klezmer” band adding a “twist"to most musical genres including classical.

The name: “Bandidos” Spanish meaning bandit, we are musical bandits, stealing music from others and arranging it in our own Barnyard style, what we do to it, some would say is criminal, for example adding “The Specials hit “Gangsters” to the end of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto, believe you me it works!

 Chris, our violinist, is a farmer and we rehearse in a beautiful barn, hence Barnyard.

The photo here was taken at a rehearsal for a party on the farm. We are a “festival band” and are happiest playing for fun in a field.

Please contact Karen Hodges on 07765955959 if you are in need of some “fun, festival” therapy at very amenable rates.
