photos: Crowds flock to sun-soaked Burnham's Picnic In The Park
Burnham-On-Sea's
eleventh annual Picnic In the Park has been hailed 'the best ever'
after huge crowds flocked to the town's Manor Gardens on Sunday
(July 13th) to soak up the sunshine and music.
The
free entertainment included music from acclaimed 20-piece Boulevard
Swing Big Band who played a full list of swing tunes, from Benny
Goodman to modern times.
 The
Fallen Apples acoustic group (pictured) played a range of folk,
skiffle, blues and hill billy music.
And
Gary French, a singer and songwriter on guitar, was also in action
during the afternoon.
Event
organiser Mike Murphy told Burnham-On-Sea.com the event had been
a "great success" and he thanked all those who had attended
and showed their support.
Picnic
In The Park is organised by CADS, the Burnham and Highbridge Cultural
Arts and Development Society. The
group organises three or four free events a year for the benefit
of people in both towns.
