The Gabby Young Trio at the Midsummer Festival at the Royal Academy of Arts 2014
Surrounded by art
Of the great and good
The musical trio
With instruments stood.
Not the stuck up and haughty
But winsome and naughty
Playing music, rock-folksy with jazz.
The girls decked with flowers
Their dresses so pretty
A guitarist both
Bearded and tall.
And as they play
With energy boundless
We find ourselves
Tapping away.
Their tunes
Captivating
Almost hypnotising
We smile as we welcome
This treat.
For this great occasion
Is one huge alloy
Art, sculpture and music
Concurrent.
Was there e’r such an evening
Of beauty and laughter
Of dancing and singing
The gallery ringing
To tunes which
Express so much love.
I wrote this poem in celebration of a wonderful evening at The Royal Academy of Art Midsummer Festival in 2014. The exhibition each year, takes work from emerging and established artists and gives them a chance to showcase their work. In 2014 they had a wonderful party for which I won some tickets. It was an very memorable evening and for me this trio was the icing on the cake. I believe Gabby Young went on to form a group Gabby Young and other Animals but I don’t think they are currently performing.
