Following our return from Easter Holidays we enjoyed a weekend in Southern Ireland with concerts in Dublin and Kilkenny. Both concerts featured a reprise of our award-winning programme from Brass in Concert 'Prince Ali - From Rags to Riches' as well as the British Open Test Piece 'Sand and Stars.' The hospitality shown and audience reaction was fantastic!!! Last weekend we were back in the heart of our hometown to entertain the huge crowds at Sandbach's annual Transport Festival as well as leading the parade. A baking hot afternoon performing arrangements from The Beatles, Elton John, Bryan Adams, The Carpenters and The Killers - nothing like variety!!!!
