St James Park
The weather and crowds on Saturday at St James were fantastic. Fortunately the band were located in the shade of trees and the "bandstand" canopy and we had an excellent concert.
The soloists were greatly appreciated by the audience - Alan Garbutt (Principal Cornet), Emma Foggerty (Flugel), Paul Hanby (Solo Horn) and Christian Hines (Solo Tombone).
Only downer on the day was the 6+ hours to get from Barnsley to London; traffic on M1 from Junction 15 down was stood due to an accident. Spent 2 hours travelling round the beautiful Bedfordshire scenery.
