0 Father Christmas arrives in Blewbury!

  • Dec 9th
  • by judithatkins
  • · Carolling · Main Band · News

The band brought festive cheer to the Style Acre Christmas Fete this morning at Savages. We played some of our seasonal favorites, and were lucky enough to accompany Father Christmas on his sleigh journey around the village. We were also joined by passers-by who helped the band with a lively performance of ‘Jingle Bells’!

Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at Style Acre Tea Room for the lovely tea and coffee they provided for the band. We hope your event successful and you have a lovely Christmas!

0 BBB plays for Santa, carollers and the children of Blewbury

  • Dec 24th
  • by judithatkins
  • · Carolling · Events · Main Band · News

Thank to all who turned out on such a chilly night to entertain the parents and grandparents as the children of Blewbury received their presents from Santa.

The band was bolstered by past players and friends. A special thank you to Mrs Alex Elderfield for simultaneously conducting (with glow stick) and covering the cornet line. Blewbury villagers commented that it was one of the best Christmas Playclose bands we had in years.
Thank you also to both supporting parents and Mary and Judith for sorting the carol sheets for our massed, slightly rowdy but enthusiastic singers.

0 Sainsbury’s Shoppers Serenaded

  • Dec 23rd
  • by judithatkins
  • · Carolling · Events · Main Band · News

Shoppers were given a Christmassy welcome in Sainsbury’s, Didcot today. The band took it in shifts to complete four hours of festive carols and songs. We took requests from passers-by and entertained the children with favourites including Jingle Bells and Rudolf.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to our fund-raising over the Christmas period. Money raised will help to further develop the band and its activities. This includes supporting our Learner and Beginner Bands, buying instruments and music, and paying for rehearsal and concert venues.

Merry Christmas to all our band members and supporters!

0 BBB a sensation at village concert!

  • Dec 23rd
  • by judithatkins
  • · Carolling · Church · Events · Main Band · News

St Michael’s Church, Blewbury was treated to festive delights from the main band and learner ensemble this evening.

Building on its success at local businesses Infinium and Ipsen, Blewbury continued our Christmas programme to huge acclaim. A packed congregation were charmed by the learner ensemble’s swinging ‘Jingle bells boogie’. The main band filled the church with Christmas cheer as the audience sang along to ‘The twelve days of Christmas’, expertly led by our musical director, Ian.

Our Christmas season is drawing to a close; come and see us tomorrow at Didcot Sainsburys, or at the Playclose in Blewbury village on Christmas Eve.
