0 BBB entertains the crowds at Upton Fete
A grey, drizzly afternoon was no deterrent to the Band who put on a fine performance in the village hall at Upton Fete. In our final fete of the season, the band played all its favourite tunes including Cruella De Vil, Singing in the Rain and Candyman. A local morris group was also performing and we joined forces for a memorable playing of the Floral Dance.
Thank you to the organisers for supplying tea in the interval and we hope you all had a lovely afternoon.

0 BBB open Blewfest
The band ignored the grey, drizzly weather to open Blewbury’s very own music festival; Blewfest. Playing in a large marquee, the band did a 30 minute set playing our favourite tunes from the summer programme. The audience particularly enjoyed Candyman, It’s Raining Men and, of course, Singing in the Rain! Hopefully the wet weather did not keep the people away and the event was a great success.
