hago in pictures - 2009

Our pictures for 2009 begin with food.
What a surprise!
Here's our 10th birthday, in February

On March 22nd we welcomed Mark Eden over to share a day of food and friendship.
Check out our Masterclass Gallery for the story of what happened behind closed doors....

One of our loveliest concerts we've EVER played was at the Royal Star and Garter Home in Richmond.
This magnificent building is home to many ex-servicemen & women and widows/widowers of serving people whose disabilities mean that they need the care and attention that only a place like this can offer.
It was a privilege to play to so many fantastic people!

The hago year wouldn't be complete without our annual "joust" with Cambridge Guitar Orchestra. (CGO)

It was an "away fixture" this year, and here are the All-Blacks psyching themselves into a frenzy....

Visit our CGO gallery for the whole story - there's a LOT more to tell!

On 2nd July we took this panoramic view of a hago rehearsal.

Thanks to Kate Morris for the photo!

We were thrilled to be invited back to Portsmouth Guildhall as guests of Milton Glee Club for a massive concert.

There's something so moving in playing to such a large audience - it's a wonderfully powerful thing....

Soon afterwards we played at the historic Church of St Mary's in the grounds of Portchester Castle.

In order to give everyone the best chance to hear us, we sat sideways in the Church - here we are setting up...
