I HAVE AN APOLOGY
Due to a number or reasons, I haven’t updated band news on our website since March. Please accept my apologies.
There being no Covid restrictions this year, band members and their guests enjoyed an excellent meal at Cleckheaton Golf Club in April.
The opening concert for 2022 on 28th of May was at our new home St. Andrews, Undercliffe. Well attended and, judging by the applause, much appreciated by all members of the audience.
On 4th June the bands contribution to The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend was in a cold and windy field alongside The Woolpack public house at Whitley Village. It may have been cold and windy, but the organisers and volunteers were magnificent with their hospitality. Needless to say many members of the band ended up after the event in the pub on the pretext of ‘just getting warm’.
Two short concert programs came next on 25th June from the marketplace in Ripon, in support of a joint venture between organisers of Armed Forces Day and Ripon Theatre Festival. The weather was kind and so were the numerous comments from members of the public. I should not have to mention that many band members ended the afternoon in The One Eyed Rat. (Another pub – Of course!)
The bandstand in the lake in Peasholm Park, Scarborough, brings this report up to date.
With short excerpts from Breezin’ Down Broadway and Highland Cathedral.

AND I PROMISE TO KEEP THIS NEWS PAGE UP TO DATE IN FUTURE!!!
