We recently had a very enjoyable and successful with our friends Whittonstall Community Band and Ponteland Community Wind Band held in the memory of John Myers.

Here we see Whittonstall Band with special guest conductor Mr Hignett flown all the way from Hexham to be with us.It was a very poignant evening as we were trying to arrange a similar concert last year when John sadly died. A candle burned on stage all night in his memory.Ponteland band, under the baton of Alastair Lord, closed off the first half with a very entertaining set.The second half of the concert ended with our now traditional massed concert band with a performance of Elgars ‘Nimrod’ played in Johns memory as it was one of his favourite pieces.
