| Keedie was accompanied by Laurie Holloway and his trio of performers, as well as the East Berkshire Youth Jazz Band. Barrie Mair, met the young singer while she was performing for the Bishop Simeon Trust in London. When asked if she would perform for Wooden Spoon, the singer, who recently hit number 2 in the music charts with a duet with Duncan James of Blue, readily agreed.
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of a bouquet to Keedie from young James Zatka-Haas. James is a 13 year old living with cerebral palsy who learned to walk through Conductive Education Therapy, a technique that has helped over 30 children from Berkshire and Buckinghamshire at the Priory School in Burnham.
This school was helped by Spoon with a £13,000 donation for teaching facility development. The £1000 raised for Spoon at the concert will be pledged towards Chilterns Spoons' current project, a £53,000 sensory garden for children with multiple and severe learning difficulties at Bishopwood School in Sonning Common.
