hago news from 2008 ...
March 2008
We had a great opening concert last night at URC Hayling and are delighted to have raised £950 for their Building Fund - thank you all for coming and supporting us. Our fundraising total for local good causes now stands at £36,022. The organiser writes
Our final total is £950, after all expenses... So that is really fantastic and many thanks again for all you have done towards that. You do work so hard to make it all happen... it was fairly obvious that the audience thoroughly enjoyed your superb music, sound, humour and general fun atmosphere. Everyone was talking about it today and the fact that your players clearly love performing with you impressed people especially.
Check us out in "Hampshire View" and "Wiltshire View" Magazines March 2008 - free from Waitrose, M&S and Waterstones!
Congratulations to South Hants Guitar Fantastico, winners of the hago cup at this year's Portsmouth Music Festival - a thrill to hear them play pieces including La Bamba (remember you heard it here first!)
There are more soundclips on our new MySpace website - all live in concert.
