Wedding Performance

On 27th May the band were delighted to provide the music for the wedding of the Euphonium section Michael and Lynsey. We played in the ceremony, which included special music written and arranged for the day followed by a performance in the beautiful Liverpool Town Hall. We welcomed some very special friends to help us out as some of the band where somewhat busy!

We had lots of great feedback with many people commenting on how magical and atmospheric the band made the day, adding that extra touch.

We have just performed in the Whit Friday Marches (which fell in a good place this year, with the Happy couple jetting off on Monday!) and will have more information to follow once all the results have been published.

New Signings

Announcement

We are pleased to announce the signings of 2 new players to the band to help take us into our concert Season and to bolster the band for our first ever National Finals contest in September.

Rob Jones has joined the band on 2nd Cornet after helping us out in our first 3 contests.  Rob started playing in Booker Avenue school and was taught by Bob Dean and Julie Baker.  Rob played for the NCWO in his youth and has gone on to play with a number of local ensembles.

Izzy Cross has also joined the band on 2nd Baritone.  Izzy is from Dudley and started playing Cornet at 10 before moving on to Euphonium.   Before moving to Liverpool to study Music and Maths at the University of Liverpool, she played for Dudley Performing Arts Brass Band.

I am sure you will welcome our new signings who now complete our line-up and arrive just in time for our 24-hour Blowathon tomorrow night!

North West Area Championships

2017 455Yesterday, on Sunday 26th February 2017, the band took part in it’s first ever major Brass Band contest, the North West Area.  Off draw 13, the band went on to play a superb performance of St. Andrew’s Variations by Alan Fernie and we are very pleased to announce that we came 2nd out of 17 bands in the Fourth Section!

We were very happy with our performance, and this was backed up not only by the adjudicators comments, but those who listened on which also included great write ups from websites such as 4barsrest, all4Brass and the British Bandsman’s Magazine; as well as other bandsmen who were listening on the day.

We are now putting plans together to enter the National Finals in Cheltenham later in the year, whilst our next outing will be our Rock of Ages concert at the Capstone Theatre on 13th May.

Please see our Events section to find out more information on how to get tickets whilst you still can!
