Fun in the sun
JUST in time, the changeable weather took a turn for the better on Sunday for the immensely popular Boathouse Rocks music event in aid of Barmouth RNLI.
The wind dropped and the temperature rose as Batala Bermo opened the event with their magnificent drumming, drawing crowds to the RNLI Boathouse on the promenade.
The all-weather lifeboat, the Moira Barrie, was towed on to the beach to make room for local groups who generously gave their time and talents and crowds soon assembled to listen to the music, and enjoy the tasty food.
Families, holidaymakers and locals all soaked up the atmosphere at what was a superb afternoon’s entertainment.
The ever-faithful Roy Ellis with Al Dean and the band performed with Gwynfor and Donna Morris, Chris Knowles, Anna Lewis and the Welfare Mothers and many other stalwart supporters.
And this year the crowd were treated to some new young talent in the form of Callum Wright from Nantwich. The audience were spellbound by a very impressive performance from this 18 year-old singer/songwriter.
Coxswain Peter Davies said: “We are very grateful for the continued support we get from our local musicians and to the crew and fundraisers, who worked tirelessly to make the day such a huge success. They enabled us to raise £1,765.68 from the event.
“I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone for their unstinting generosity. It was a great afternoon.”
