dancing to the fabulous &#8216;Dave Hignett Band&#8217; late into the evening.<\/p>\n<p>One of the undoubted highlights of the concert was Mr Lambs fine rendition of the &#8216;Blaydon Races.&#8217; .\u00a0Chosen as our genuine &#8216;Geordie&#8217; and his ability to sing all the right words in the right order, the races were one of Daves earliest memories having being taken to see them as a small child.<\/p>\n<p>Dave also gave a vote of thanks to our founder member and conductor Dave Hignett for his continued enthusiastic support of the band and thanked him for his efforts over the years.<\/p>\n<p>Many of our younger players have benefitted from Daves teaching and have gone on to pursue careers in music as a result of \u00a0his inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>We are lucky to continue to attract young players into the band.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prudhoecommunityband.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/IMG_5183.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
