Our final music played in 2019 (22nd December); a 2 hour set towards the exit at Morrisons where we performed festive tunes as well as more traditional carols. Christmas hats (and antlers) were worn in the spirit of the season and many shoppers stopped by on their way out of the store. Donations were collected…

Carols at Morrisons part 1
We played a 2 hour set at Morrisons near the exit (our band was too big to fit in the foyer!) Many a shopper enjoyed the tunes which ranged from music such as Jingle Bells and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus, to traditional carols (Away In A Manger, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, O…

11th August 2019, Bandstand Concert, Swindon Town Gardens, 3-4:30pm
It was our first time to play in the Swindon Town Gardens bandstand; quite a stunning park (particularly the rose garden).
