October 2023: 'Around the World' concert

The Autumn Concert, held on Friday, October 13, at All Saints Church, Northallerton, was a delightful evening of music in different styles but with a common theme, 'Around the World,' which took the audience on a musical journey. The repertoire, which included pieces such as 'The Sound of Music,' 'Macarthur Park,' and 'The Best of Bond,' showcased the band's versatility and talent. These selections provided a diverse and enjoyable musical experience. A surprise visit by the Prime Minister, The Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP, added a sense of prestige to the event, and it was a notable occasion for the community. Sadly, the concert marked the end of Musical Director, Chris Britland's time with the band. Her contributions to the band were undoubtedly appreciated, and her farewell concert was a fitting tribute to her time as MD. Thank you Chris. Overall, the concert was a resounding success, with attendees expressing their enjoyment and appreciation for the performance. It was a memorable evening that celebrated music, fun and community.
