This concert was part of Howden's Month of Sundays concerts promoted by Howden Live that are put on free every year for the public to enjoy. It was a lovely day for an outside concert!

12th May 2013 Beverley Athletics Club 10k Road Race, Beverley

For our first outside performance of 2013 we played at the Market Cross in Beverley to help on (we hope) those taking part in the road race (oh and we aired our newly refurbished churn for the first time).

6th April 2013 In Concert at Swanland Village Hall

First concert of the year:

Beverley Brass Band took to stage at Swanland Village Hall for their first concert of the year. This was an entirely re-vamped programme for the New Year. The band drafted in the expertise of former Musical Director, Jim Johnson on Euphonium (stepping in for the 'temporarily out of action' Eddie Pybus who broke his wrist). The band also had help from Rhodri Williams (a bass player from The University of Hull Brass Band) who has subsequently agreed to be part of the band in its build-up to the Hardraw Scar entertainments Contest.

The band played a well varied programme including the Black Dyke's signature march 'Knight Templar' and the landscape-evoking piece 'Oregon' (turning out to be an audience favourite). The soloists included principal cornet, Katherine Hanover, Solo Euphonium, Jim Johnson and Solo Tenor Horn, Pete Wilson. The soloists played 'Buster Strikes Back', 'Grandfather's Clock' and 'He 'aint heavy he's my brother', respectively.

The band even had some choreography to tackle with. 'Joy, Peace and Happiness' proved to be an audience foot-tapper and the Louisianna Funeral style of 'The Old Rugged Cross' saw the cornets march to the stage. 

MD Peter Kench said he felt that 'the night was a great success. The varied audience thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the band played very well. We are looking forward to our return to Swanland in December and to the rest of the concert series'.
