Great web site!! - thoroughly enjoyed looking through it.

I don't know if you have heard of Worcester City Brass - we have got a site (yet) - We only started last Feb and already we have over 60 young brass players from Worcester meeting at Nunnery Wood High School every Thursday evening during term time

On March 27th we are joining with Flowers Band to give a concert at Nunnery Wood High School.

I want to write to all the local bands to invite you come and enjoy what promises to be an exciting evening of brass playing - but I don't have an address to write to - could you let me have one.

Tickets are £5 for adults and £3 for concessions. If you would like to join us we are offering discounts for block bookings - 1 free adult ticket for every 10 tickets purchased - and I can arrange reserved seating for you all.

I do hope this will be of interest to you all, and look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes to everyone in Stourport Band


PS - Please say 'hello' to Ken Smith - I had a good chat with him when we both played with Avonbank Band for their anniversary concert last year with Don Lusher

Hi Mike,
John here in Chilly Canada.
Do you know if Colin Farlow has an email address? If so, could you forward it to me here.
I do enjoy your web page, it is certainly one of the best laid out that I've browsed across. Someday soon the Dayspring Brass Band will have a page, so watch out!

(Webmaster's note : John has had a long association with Stourport Band before going to canada - I've only met John once ..but nice to see him keeping up to date! :-)
