5/8/08 - MUSIC SAVED:
I would like to thank the A45 Big Band members Bill Geddes and Blackadder (sorry don’t know his full name), who rehearse at the Old Earls Barton Silver Band Club. Blackadder for having the foresight to save the Earls Barton Silver Bands Music Library, (which was destined for a skip by the Club!!), and Bill for his help in getting the music so we could collect it. It took a while but we got there in the end.
Earls Barton Silver Band was formed in 1898, and unfortunately had to close in 1997 due to lack of members. As you can imagine, that is quite a lot of old music and history that has been saved for future generations to come.
Once again thank you.
Shirley – ex-EBSB Secretary
*******************************
We are a brass band, made up of local players from around Northampton. Our first rehearsal was in 1977, in the village of Moulton, just north of Northampton. We have progressed through the sections of brass banding and are now a Third Section band. For further information on our history, see our History Page.
We continue to enjoy the enthusiasm and leadership of our new musical director, Martyn France. We have enjoyed some good concert performances, and are looking forward to playing some new and some not so new pieces over the summer season of fete's and concerts. We continue to strengthen the band, and in doing so are looking for a resident solo trombone and tuned percussionist. As a band, concentrating on enjoying our rehearsals and performances, we would, as always, welcome any new players to the area or those who fancy a change.
We are currently in our summer season, a few new solo tunes to be premiered. Our first event, was at Abington Park Bandstand on Sunday 25 May, but true to form, it rained, so we played in the Cafe instead!! The park is a perfect setting for a lazy afternoon, why not come and listen to the band, enjoy the sun!!, and bring a picnic. We were there again on Sunday 13 July, and hurray it was hot and sunny.
If you are interested in finding more out about the band, or would like to get in contact, then please email the band, on bandenquiries@hotmail.co.uk
