Amongst the festivities of Easter week, we have the pleasure to chronicle a concert in the schoolroom of the above place on Thursday the 1st, inst., which appeared to give great satisfaction to a numerous and highly appreciative audience. At the request of the Rev. J. Wiglesworth, the chair was taken by the Rev. J. Brown, formerly curate of the parish. The concert commenced with an instrumental trio played with great taste and precision by Miss Pike, Miss J. Pike and Miss R. Whiting. This was succeeded by one of the glees, interspersed through the programme, the singing of which by the children did great credit to them and also to the pains bestowed by those who had so kindly instructed them. “Weel may the keel row” especially struck us, and the seraphine accompaniment in addition to the piano, formed a volume of sound which was very harmonious. Miss Pike was heartily encored in a taking little song, “The Cottage by the Sea;” and solos, comic and sentimental followed each other in quick succession varied by some excellent readings and two recitations. Those whose musical taste lay in instrumental performances must have been delighted with the duet “Il Corricolo,” brilliantly given by the Misses Walpole. Messrs. T. Pike, C. Whiting and W. H. Pike were vehemently encored in their excellent comic songs. We greatly admired the very pretty rendering of a simple ballad called “I’ve just had a letter,” by Miss H. Whiting, who had to repeat part of it in accordance with the earnest encores of the audience. “Footsteps of Angels” was also re-demanded from Mr. T. Gregory, who sang with taste and feeling. Miss Walpole’s “Won’t you tell me why, Robin,” “the Schooner on the Sands,” and “Thady O’Flinn” (which latter she kindly sang in the place of a performer who failed to appear) were given with the excellent vocal power and genial manner which never fail to elicit the heartiest approval from all who have the good fortune to be her hearers. The National Anthem concluded the entertainment. Mr. Brown, as chairman, expressed the thanks of all present to those who had so kindly exerted themselves, and congratulated the inhabitants of Castlethorpe in being thus ably and heartily encouraged in their efforts to afford so pleasantly a recreation for themselves and for those neighbours who mustered in such numbers on this occasion.
