We were very pleased to host a special brass experience day in Skibbereen Farmer's Market on Saturday 7th September. We had the 1st Brigade Army Band from Cork who opened the event playing 11am to 12 noon with their talented conductor Captain Ben Jacob. We then followed with our own recital 12 noon to 1pm. After us came the Bandon Concert band with their Charismatic conductor Leo Guedan who played 1pm to 2pm. Finally the day closed with a joint recital between ourselves and the Bandon Concert Band, conducted by Leo. The local crowd were thrilled to be entertained with over 3 hours of brass and wind band music.
After the event we had refreshments provided by Christian and Marie from the Wild Ways restaurant (opening soon), The Church Restaurant, Drinagh Spar and Fields Supervalu of Skibbereen. A great day that we can hopefully build on next year.
