Love the new website. Good luck at the finals. Absolute Classic.

I was particularly moved by the beautiful arrangement of Auld Lang Syne and the Last Post.  You played it with such feeling.  Who is the arranger please and is it possible to buy the music?

To one and all, but especially Claire on Principal Cornet, you played magnificently today in London.

Regards

I have just listened to your Bands contribution to the 9/11 memorial service in London and would like to congratulate you on a very moving and poignant performance.  I particularly liked the piece played from the film Gettysburg I am sorry I don't know its proper name. I also enjoyed Auld Lang Syne with the Last Post being played along side.  Can you pass on my thanks to all members of your band for all their commitment and hard work.  I would like to purchase a CD of your music to hopefully include both pieces and would be grateful if you could inform me where I could do so.

With kindest regards

Hi,

 I just wanted to say a huge WELL DONE and Thanks! for a most wonderful concert at the Welfare tonight. The selection of music was interesting, varied, well performed and enjoyable. I couldn't help thinking that I'd rather have liked to have been playing on some of the old favourites like Hymn to the Fallen and Florentina March :-)

Reunion and Finale was outstanding as was Toccata (well done to the Xylophonist chap!!) Actually, biased though I am, I have to say that the whole percussion section were brilliant (Cheers Dave. D.. that tenner will come in handy!)

 The Conductor, David, was witty, informative and sensitive in just the right measure and he judged the audience well so another well done to him :)

The King Family will certainly be supporting you all the way to the National Finals and beyond. Thanks again !

We were at the crossing yesterday, for my first band concert, which was Brassed Off. We had a brilliant time, and look forward to the next concert. Well done everybody, and thanks. Best of luck at the finals, we'll be looking out for you.

Excellent performance as usual at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham. Your programme was contemporary and entertaining. My wife and I really enjoyed it. Thank You.

Just returned home after seeing the band perform for the first time at a concert held in the Parish Church in Gainsborough 10 October 2009.  I must say what a fantastic experience this was.  The band were fantastic and the accoustics of the church were brilliant.  Many thanks to all in the band for such an enjoyable performance and we look forward to seeing you perform again in the near future. 

Good luck for the future.

Dave & Thel

Splendid performance at the Welfare on the 5Th April,  the residents are really fortunate to have this Band on their doorstep.
