Waterbeach Brass
St James'Church Lode have arranged for a concert to be given in the church by "Waterbeach Brass"as part of their St James'Day celebrations on Saturday 26th July 2008 7.30 pm.
This promises to be a first class event from a band which has blossomed over the 30 years it has been in existence. Early in 1978, Maureen and Wally Neville approached John and Beryl Few with the idea of forming "Waterbeach Brass. All were then members of Haddenham Brass Band.
The Band was crowned Cambridgeshire Champion Band in 1991 and over the past few years Waterbeach Brass has been very successful on the contest platform, reaching the National finals in 2004 and 2006. In 2005 Waterbeach Brass recorded their first CD, which has proven to be popular with audiences ever since.
The band's repertoire contains a wide variety of music, comprising of traditional brass band marches, solos and overtures as well as more contemporary pieces such as film score arrangements, songs from the shows and chart music.
This promises to be a first class entertainment and it is hoped to have a packed church for this occasion.For this reason, the ticket price has been kept as low as possible - everyone at the concession price of £5.
Tickets may be purchased in advance at Lode Post Office or on the door on the evening of the event.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 26th July at 7.30pm for a happy time together and when you leave, we hope that you will be humming the memorable tunes all the way home.
Church pews can be a little uncomfortable so please feel free to bring a cushion.
