The Hebden Bridge Heritage weekend and March Contest took place last weekend.

Hebden Bridge Band held the Gala Concert to open the 2009 Heritage Weekend Festival with a varied programme for all to enjoy. This year the guest soloist was the very popular Simone Rebello who was in absolute top form.

Treat

Simone treated the packed audience to some fantastic playing, finishing off with a xylophone duet with one of the band's percussionists, Sam Gardener.

Guest of honour

Guest of honour for the weekend was David Read MBE who thoroughly enjoyed the evening and was looking forward to adjudicating the March and Hymn Contest on the following day.
