THE SOUND of summer was heard in Reading on Sunday. The annual season of bandstand concerts has been taking place,Posted on Thursday August 4th, 2022
Great to be back on the Henley bandstand last weekend entertaining folks with some summer tunes. 'Eighties Flashback' got some picnickers grooving (we saw you😂) We like that one too, but 'It's Raining Men' is hard to beat 😄
Thanks to our friend on the passing boat that sent us the view from the river!
It's usually a bit cool there but I expect that's welcome in the current heatwave. I bet you had a good audience on the dry grass.
Shame Phil couldn't be there hopefully soon though still in hospital 😕

Yesterday, we were delighted to perform our first concert of the season on the lovely bandstand in Alexandra Gardens in Windsor. Fortunately, we weren't required to break out our version of 'Singing in the Rain' and the audience enjoyed a varied programme of music from classical to film scores and musicals to 80's cheese! What a lovely way to start the summer!
I used to love playing there .
Woodley Concert Band Well done to all

Last week, WCB took to the mean streets of Wokingham for the highly anticipated return of our annual Bowling Championship! Over the course of 2 games, band members showed off their sporting prowess but in the end, the victor with a magnificent 249 points was trumpeter Brian, who was delighted to lift the prestigious trophy - well done Brian!
Congratulations Brian. I can’t believe I forgot to ask who won last rehearsal! 👏🏻😃
I always knew Brian was a "ringer" 🙂
Steve so wanted to join you all but the sunshine in Malta was too tempting

I see a few old faces that I recognise - and I mean old. They've got to be. They were there when I was member!

MAMBO! What a brilliant concert! We had a great time performing our dance-themed concert last night - packed full of everything from classical to disco and ballet to the wild west, we reckon that we took in just about every aspect of dance-related music and judging by the audience's enthusiastic reaction, they had great fun too! If you came along, we hope that you enjoyed it - let us know what your favourite piece was!
Fab concert, my mum, sister and I really loved it! So hard to pick a favourite, but probably West Side Story for me, or maybe Singing in the Rain. You are a great band 😊😊
