The Stonehouse concerts are held at the home of Phil and Delia Cook, Clevedon, who graciously make their home available.

For this Winter Concert (2005), Gina was joined by the superb young Italian tenor, Pietro Picone, brilliant cellist (and sometime soprano) Sarah McDowall, Carolyn Dando, soprano, and daughter of the house, Christie Cook, soprano and piano. All were accompanied by Kay Shacklock on the Cook's magnificent Playel Grand.

You can hear some songs from this concert just click on the each file is 2-3 Mb, except for the Brahms cello sonata which is available in a short (3 Mb) and full (7 Mb) version. You can right click and save them, then enjoy on your mp3 player. Note that these were recorded in a simple set up, so are not studio quality. Nevertheless, if you were there it may bring back some pleasant memories !
