It’s always nice when we are booked for a local wedding. Today we were just up the road from our Cotswolds home for a wedding just off the Fosse Way at Old Gore Barn near Cirencester.
The Wedding
Kate and Lou
Old Gore Barn by Yardspace, Gloucestershire
Monday 22 August 2022
The venue
Based in the heart of the Cotswolds, Old Gore is a wedding venue like no other. Baz & Fred have spent the last 10 years spinning pizzas at street food markets, restaurants, festivals, pops ups in London and lots and lots of weddings!
After finessing their craft in London, they moved on to set up The Stump pub and a year later The New Inn in Coln St Aldwyns. These hugely successful pubs offer simple, quality, delicious food at affordable prices. Using their knowledge of great service, street food and weddings Baz & Fred launched the ultimate street food wedding venue, Old Gore.
The Wedding
Our role today was to provide music for the wedding ceremony followed by drinks reception. Kate and Lou had some lovely choices of music for their ceremony, some of which were new to us. This is always a delight to get the chance to find and arrange new songs for cello and piano.

Wedding Drinks Reception
After the ceremony we moved a short distance to the nearby Meal room and bar. Unfortunately the weather was such that an out door drinks reception was not on the cards. But no matter we set up near the bar and were soon playing again. It was a lively wedding and quite noisy inside, but with our electric cello, Nord stage piano and Bose speaker system we had quite a few people even dancing along to our tracks as we played!
