This page is a photographic record of Goosfest 2024. We hope these images bring back memories of another wonderful Goosfest.
What a grand finale to Goosfest at @clonteropera last night! 😎
@chicagobluesbrothers brought the house down, and the crowd danced, sang, and shook their tail feathers like never before. 🎶
From the first note to the final encore, the energy was off the charts, and the fun was absolutely contagious.
Thank you to everyone who came out, filled the room with good vibes, and made it a night to remember. You all rocked!🤘🎸
@johnhorsleyphotography captured some fine photos of the high-energy madness that had the whole theatre on its feet.
Who’s still buzzing?🎷

What a night, Whattalife! 🤩
@lucystevensontour amazed the audience, just like Kathleen Ferrier last night. She tells Ferrier’s moving life story, capturing the singer’s personality with warmth and an equally stunning voice, moving with ease between dramatic monologue and song.
With the talented Elizabeth Marcus on piano, the audience was enthralled.
Thanks to Cheshire Rural Touring Arts for this production.

Yesterday, all our troubles seemed so far away...🎶
What a fab couple of nights celebrating the Fab Four!
Thursday, Colin Hall and Mark Pountney (Songwriter and Musician) took us on a magical mystery tour through the hidden gems of the 60`s songbook with `The Songs The Beatles Gave Away`.
Friday we enjoyed a true taste of the old days with a proper `Scouse` supper, then
The Vox Beatles rocked the stage with everyone singing and dancing to "Hey Jude".🎸

The Sophie Matthews Goostrey Guild lecture in St Luke`s Church Goostrey gave a fascinating insight into the evolution of medieval instruments and their portrayal in art.
Sophie shared her expert knowledge, with performances on instruments from a replica set of 13th-century bagpipes to the baroque oboe, the music conjured up times past. 🪈
Later joined by partner Chris Green, @greenmatthewsuk gave a lovely recital of dances and folk tunes over the centuries.
We`re travelling back to the heady days of The Cavern Club tonight, at the Goostrey Goes To Liverpool night with the Vox Beatles.🎶
Who`s lucky enough to be joining us?

@sian_weedon delivered a stunning performance in The Matchbox last night, a one-woman play by Frank McGuinness. Her portrayal of Sal, a mother consumed by grief and revenge after her daughter’s tragic death, is both chilling and mesmerising.
The strength of Weedon`s delivery coupled with the powerful direction from @gordon.hamlin, effortlessly shifts the mood between light and dark, leaving the audience spellbound.
Some of the feedback we`ve received so far:
"Astonishing and unbelievably moving"
"Superb storytelling"
"Stunning!"

Jonathan Scott wowed us all with his phenomenal organ recital, last weekend. 🎹
Jonathan`s international career, which has taken him from the BBC Proms to stages across Europe and Asia, shone through in every piece, to a packed St Luke`s Church Goostrey.
We are truly honoured to have Jonathan Scott perform in our village. A heartfelt thank you to Jonathan @scottbrothersduo for returning to Goosfest for the fourth time, the only village festival that`s been fortunate enough to achieve this! 😍
