Oakham's Summer of Music Begins with a Bang, Farewell to one of the Organisers

Oakham Town Council's highly anticipated summer season of Band Concerts burst into life this past Fathers' Day Sunday, much to the delight of a massive crowd gathered in Cutts Close. Under glorious sunshine, residents and visitors alike enjoyed the inaugural event, setting a high bar for the musical festivities to come.
The atmosphere was vibrant, with families picnicking and enjoying the live music, marking a perfect start to the community's summer tradition. The success of the opening concert underscores the enduring appeal of these free, open-air performances.
Looking ahead, the excitement continues next Sunday, June 22nd, with a performance by the band Atomic, set to begin at 2:30 PM. Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to secure a good spot and continue enjoying the fantastic weather and lively entertainment.
However, amidst the celebratory mood, an announcement has been made that marks the end of an era for the popular concert series. Councillor Sally-Anne Wadsworth, who has been the driving force behind the organisation of these events for many years, has announced her retirement from this role. Cllr Wadsworth, with the invaluable assistance of Deputy Clerk Kathy, has dedicated countless hours to bringing these concerts to fruition, creating a staple of Oakham's summer calendar.
Her meticulous planning and unwavering commitment have ensured that residents have been able to enjoy high-quality musical performances in a beautiful setting year after year. The success of events like yesterday's opening concert is a testament to their hard work and dedication.
The entire community extends its heartfelt thanks to both Cllr Sally-Anne Wadsworth for her tremendous efforts and invaluable contributions to Oakham's cultural life. Their tireless work has provided countless hours of enjoyment for families and music lovers, and their presence in the organisational aspect of these events will be sorely missed.
