Last of the Summer Concerts

Despite the difficulty in getting bandstand jobs these days with the cutbacks in spending from local councils, the band has still managed to perform a number of outdoor concerts this summer.

I’ll Not Turn Back

Deal Bandstand – 24th June

[tabby_group]

Concert

We are always pleased to perform for an audience and on a hot and sunny what afternoon by the sea, what typifies the Great British way of life more than sitting in a deck chair listening to a brass band.

We had an excellent concert on this afternoon at Deal Memorial Bandstand and a good sized and appreciative audience despite competing with the England World Cup match.

Thanks to Sian, Elaine and Ricky for helping out fill the vacancies we had for the day.
