A Summer to Remember – We Hope!

Whilst the summer weather refuses to appear, the Band have an exciting summer season, which is already well underway.

So far, we have staged two concerts for local Churches (St Francis and St Nicholas) which have raised over £2,200. At the latter of these the Band surprised me with a wonderful cake (made by Alison Poultney – wife of Solo Horn, Alan) to celebrate my 40 years as Musical Director. This tribute was made even more special as there were two other enormous cakes for both the Band and the audience to enjoy during an extended interval.

At the beginning of August, a party of some 40 players and supporters depart for a tour to the Netherlands, which will see the Band perform a lunchtime concert in the very pretty town square of Delph and an evening concert at a wonderful Church in Utrecht.

The Band are very privileged and honoured to be invited to perform a lunchtime concert in the gardens of Westminster Abbey on August 21st. This is part of a regular season of concerts, with the Band performing from 12.30 to 2pm. Audience entrance is free with no need to book, and if the weather is poor the concert will be switched to the adjacent Church. If you are free why not come along and support the Band in these magnificent surroundings.

Shortly after this a small group will be playing at the Wedding Celebration party of Eb Bass player James Rogers, which will round off a very busy, and we hope memorable 2024 summer season.
