St George's Celebration in Lytham was a slightly damp experience.

But we are used to a bit of the wet stuff in Longridge!

Welcome to Glen Lauren & Nikki

We are delighted to welcome to the band Glen Anderton (tutti cornet),

Lauren Worthington (horn)

and Nikki Coupe (flugal/cornet) who is also taking on the role of MD/trainer of the re-formed junior band.

(pictures to follow).

We are also happy to report that Elizabeth Connor(our principle cornet player) is playing with the band again after breaking her arm very badly.

Her first concert re-appearance was at the Patrons' Concert in March but she was excused from playing a solo (just for once!) on that occasion.

 

If you would like to come to our Jubilee Garden Party on June 10th at Ferraris Country Hotel please contact Sue on 01772 782797

We are pleased to announce that our web hosts Enoise are now sponsors of the band and we are grateful to them for all their kind help and assistance.
