Is anybody interested in joining us for a weekend away, playing in the Whit Friday Marches around Saddleworth, in Yorkshire on June 9th?! Campbeltown Brass are thinking on forming a scratch band and were hoping to get as many ex-Campbeltown players that were still playing to take part, but we’ve a few positions spare, due to some players with other commitments that day.
All players would be very welcome but we could really do with a Euphonium, a Baritone a couple of Horns, EEb and BBb Bass to complete the line-up. We can use as many players as we like for the road march, but its only 25 for the contest march. If there were extra players in each section coming, they would swap around at each village. A few of us played at it last year with a London band and had a great time! We did 7 contests, but we could’ve done a lot more.
I know its around the WLC time, but we are aiming to stop and pickup in Glasgow and travel to Carlisle on Thursday night, stay in Oldham after the contests on Friday and come back Saturday, hopefully back up for 6/7pm in Glasgow.
As far as I know, the few extra players that are coming so far are: Charlie Farren, Paul Kiernan, Gordon Evans (conducting!), and maybe Craig Anderson and Alan Edmond. Morvern and Danny from Black Dyke are not definite yet, as she said they might be playing with Dyke on the day.
So, if anybody’s up for a good laugh, probably a lot of drink and a share of some prize-money (if we do well!); its costs just £80. (The more the merrier, we’re taking a big bus down so would be great to fill it and then win a few things too!)
PM me or phone Katrina Barr on 07900 980076 if interested ASAP as we need to know if theres enough numbers to go ahead with the trip, cos we need to book the hotel in Oldham this week!!!
