Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes

	Delightful Cocktail Tavistock-based flute choir Flute Cocktail performed a programme of light classical music at North Petherwin Church last wekend. The concert began with Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba arranged for two solo flautists, Becky Martin and Vicky Lambert, and accompanying ensemble. After a traditional classical start, the concert moved on to finish the first half with three lighter pieces, a short fun piece entitled Cutoe Flootie, which was arranged especially for Flute Cocktail by their leader Sarah Hunt; Flutes with Attitude, a jazz style piece for alto flute played by Rebecca Wagstaff and a selection f music from the lloyd Webber musical Joseph, arranged by Kate Whetter especially for Flute Cocktail. Straight after the interval, Jackie Waddle delighted the audience with an unscheduled itemby Bach, an Arioso entitled One Foot in the Grave - a somewhat sombre title for a beautiful wistful melody in which she was accompanied by Sarah on the organ. The secon half continued with shorter well known tunes, including The Pink Panther and Bizet's Habanera from Carmen. The concert concluded with the challenging and virtuosic orchestral work Jupiter, cleverly transcribed for the whole ensemble - including two piccolos, five flute parts, two altos and two bass flutes - then a rousing climax with Sousa's Stars and Stripes, allowing Sarah to finish off the concert in style with the infamous piccolo solo! Flute Cocktail paid tribute to the hospitality of North Petherwin Church and the hospitality they received. The concert raised more than £300 which will be put to church funds and the South West Flute Festival due to take place in May. As reported in The Tavistock Times, March 27th, 2008
