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! ... See MoreSee Less
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 ππ

Our Assistant Director of Music Owen is not known for being quiet and understated so when we asked him if he fancied making a video for our 12 Virtual Days of Christmas last year, we weren't quite sure what we'd get. What we certainly didn't expect was 4 of him in one room at the same time (in 4 different festive hats) playing our most-requested Christmas song! We're still not *quite* sure we know he did this...!π¦π·π ... See MoreSee Less
Fantastic Owen - superstar!
Oh I love this! Well done Owen Lloyd!
Well done to all involved
Wow amazing

Back in November last year, as it became clear that most forms of Christmas celebration would have to take place virtually, we scrambled a crack team of brass players and put no less than four different carols together in record time to help Woodley Town Council present their first ever online Christmas Lights Switch-On!
