Pershore 9th July 2011

Another great day was had by all at Midsummer Brass Pershore, 40 concerts given by over 20 bands in 4 venues across the riverside town of Pershore in Worcestershire.

The weather held out most of the time and it luckily only decided to rain when it was our turn to play!!!

We were selected to play at 2 venues, the first was at the gorgeous Pershore Abbey at 15:30 which you can see left and above, the second was at The Angel Inn Riverside Garden at 17:10.

Both venues were very well attended and the band was in full spirit and gave a superb performance at both venues.



Below is a list of the music that was decided for the Day

Fanfare & Flourishes (James Curnow)
Breezin Down Broadway (Goff Richards)
Whistle Down The Wind (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
Buglers Holiday (Leroy Anderson)
Ruby Tuesday (A. Catherall)
Lord of the Dance (Frank Bernaerts)
Call of the Cossacks (Peter Graham)

Many great comments were recieved on the day including the professionalism of the band and that we were really in top form.

Rushden excellence

The Festival also featured many other excellent performances, with Rushden Windmill proving a popular draw in both the Abbey and the marquee with a carefully constructed programme that showed off their musicality to best advantage under MD John Fletcher.

Opening their sets with ‘Fanfare and Flourishes’ their programmes included ‘Breezing Down Broadway’ and the lovely solo ‘Whistle Down the Wind’ played lyrically by principal cornet, Jane Nicholls.

To end, the band made a game assault on the exciting final movement from ‘Call of the Cossacks’.
