Concert 24th November Salvation Army Citadel
Following a fair few weeks preparation and hard work it was all proved to be worth the effort and high blood pressure with a great concert last night at the Salvation Army Citadel. With a near full house the band were joined by the excellent Shakespeare school choir who impressed and entertained all with their choice of songs and fab voices. The band provided a selection of tunes old and new that were all greatly received. The quality of playing demonstrated the development of the band since the appointment of Steve Simpson as Musical Director earlier this year. The bands appreciation for Steve’s commitment was expressed before the concert by Mr Howard Midgeley , band secretary. This was a charity concert on behalf of the Rotary Club of Blackpool of which Steve is President this year. Proceeds will be going to local charities including Brian House Hospice. In addition to ticket sales a collection during the concert made the grand sum of £750.
