It’s been a while, but I’ve finally gotten around to an update. This year’s concert list is now available on our website, and right here on this blog.
With any bit of luck at all, there’ll be some passing similarity between the two lists.

Our Christmas concert has been rearranged for 19 December, at URC in Rayleigh. It will start at 3pm and end at 5pm, so band members should turn up at around 2:30pm. Our formal dress code has been suspended, as it’s Christmas, but alas this doesn’t mean that anything goes: decorum must be maintained, obviously.
So, no jeans, denim, skirts, combat trousers, T shirts or trainers. Unless you’re a member of the audience, in which case what you wear is up to you.
Tomorrow night is our last rehearsal of 2010, but we’ll be back in 2011!

Last week, we played at the Essex Country Show, from 12 until 3 on Saturday and Sunday.
It’s not really the sort of event where people sit in their deckchairs and listen for three hours – a lot of the audience were on their way from A to B and paused for a few minutes as they were passing, and it was gratifying to see how many of them wanted to find out more about the band (judging by conversations during the breaks, and the amount of flyers that people took away with them).
I can’t help feeling we were really lucky with the weather. It had been due to rain on Saturday, but fortunately, this failed to materialise. Sunday was gorgeous -dry and sunny. I could complain about the breeze, and the difficulty of managing sheet music, I suppose, but that would just be picky, and possibly even churlish. And anyway, we don’t like to moan in our band.
If anyone wants to submit captions for any of the above, please do!
