Friday 24th June saw our return to the annual concert on the recreational ground in Beenham. It was fantastic to see a full audience equipped with chairs, picnic tables and blankets for a full evening of entertainment. Refreshments were provided by The Six Bells. Despite the weather trying to stop play, we had great fun performing a selection of our summer favourites enthusiastically led by our amazing conductor Victoria Benjamin.
It was also a sad evening as we said good bye to Jane. Victoria said it perfectly:
"Jane Hodgson, thank you from the bottom of the band's heart, for everything. Your musicality, humour and smiles will be sorely missed. Come back and see us when you can. "
Wishing everyone a very merry Christmas and happy new year. Let's hope for lots of music making, concerts, and fetes next year 😄
