9th September
The band played at South Cliff Methodist Church last night which proved to be quite an emotional night as it was Jayne Moxon's last concert with the band before joining her husband Kevin for a new life in Cyprus. She leaves on Tuesday 9th September to join him. Jayne performed her last solo with the band and I think everyone agrees it was her best performance yet. What a way to go out !!. The band are grateful for all Jayne and Kevin have done with the band and they will be greatly missed not only as players but as close friends. Good luck in your new venture and we hope to see you soon.
We have a new member joining our growing group. Mr Andrew Firth who has recently left the army playing oboe. He joins us on his first instrument the cornet. He has played with the group a couple of times and has proved to be a great asset assisting our principle cornet player Roy Gunning. Welcome Andrew.
