Just come back from the Rhyl festival today (Sunday), met a lot of new faces (and a few old ones!!), had a really great time. Thanks to the lads and lasses from Deiniolen band who made us very welcome (even though I wasn't playing). Look forward to seeing you all again soon

You were a bit drunk when I left! I don't know if you remember, I was the one with the number 8 string top...

It was a really fun day, shame I was driving but oh well, there are plenty more opportunities to come I'm sure.

:wink:

Oh I remember you alright, and the top!! :wink:

If you thought I was drunk when you left you shudda seen me at throwing out time!! :shock:

Fantastic day, Fantastic result!!!

[twigglet]

Fantastic day, Fantastic result!!!

Must say that I went to listen to Crewe and thought you were fantastic. The cornet soloist was amazing and he well deserved the soloist prize, it would have been daylight robbery if they hadn't given it to him!

[jimothy]

In my humble opinion not only was Crewe Co-op and Andy Welsh (Napoli) fantastic, but the second horn player was simply awesome!

[robbie]

Very modest there Jim as ever!!
But your right Andy was fantastic and deserved to take the soloist prize.

[jimothy]

Rob, Rob, Rob,

listen to your Uncle Jim.

If you are going to take the p!%* out of me you could, at last get the name of your band right.

You actually play for the United Co-op Band (Crewe) and not, as you said, the United Co-op (Crewe) Band.

Very poor form that, old boy!

well sounds like a lot of fun was had by all.I was supposed to come along and watch but sadly had a severe case of not being able to get out of bed at eight oclock on sunday morning, but it sounds like i was the one who missed out!
Well done everyone!

[westburykid]

but the second horn player was simply awesome!
I think the whole band is being carried by the 1st horn player having heard the band on a few occasions. Its easy for you to be awesome when sitting next to such talent!

Must say that Andy "Mildred" "www.CornetHero.com" Welsh deserves a medal for his performance.

[jimothy]

Mr. Ball I presume?

But obviously the band is carried by the cornet section! You only have to look at "Mildred" he has his own website.

[jimothy]

I shall ignore the cheap line about the cornet section. Don't confuse quality with quantity! As for Mildred (who calls him that?) having his own website, not yet he doesn't. The guys who asked me to build it haven't yet come up with the content for the www.cornethero.com site. Hopefully they will come up with the data ASAP.

[Brassbones]

I think he's suffering! :? Do you remember your curry this time? :lol:

Erm... vaguely yes! Dont remember anyone squeezing oranges over my head! Fell asleep in the car on the way home though! :shock:

P.S. I wasn't driving at the time!

[Heather]

Thanks for your comments Twigglet. They're appreciated and thanks for coming to watch. It was great to meet Roger too.
You're right about Andy our principal cornet player. We're very lucky to have him . He's a brilliant player and a really fantastic , modest guy!
(not like Jimothy and Robbie!!).

[neiltwist]

I shall ignore the cheap line about the cornet section. Don't confuse quality with quantity!

Surely it would be sop/flugel/btrom then?
