Museums at Night – Abingdon

Thanks to Malvin for sending this report… Abingdon County Hall Museum was open from 6pm to 9pm for Museums at Night on 14th May 2016. There were lots of exhibits to look round as well as musical performances.

Ben Heaney owns a very rare Fender Violin. It is a model that never went into full production, and so is more rare than a Stradivarius. He started the proceedings by actually playing it for 30 minutes.

Also performing was a young lady, who the Oxford Waits persuaded to sing a song, and then improvised alongside. Malvin said it was ‘brilliant’.

Malvin also took some video clips which I uploaded to Youtube.
