Leyburn celebrate

The Leyburn Band has enjoyed a fine 2009 — and is looking forward to an even better 2010.

 

The Leyburn Band has been celebrating the end of a very successful 2009.

CD

The village band re-formed in 2003, had worked really hard throughout the year — a year that saw the release of second CD ‘Signature’ and various contest successes, culminated in a very successful Christmas Concert.

Over 350 people turned out to hear the band of 43 players at the concert which was preceded by a grand firework display.

Playing in this tremendous venue to a capacity audience has been a night to remember and yet another milestone in the band’s recent historyMD, George Lundberg

Tremendous

MD George Lundberg told 4BR: "Playing in this tremendous venue to a capacity audience has been a night to remember and yet another milestone in the band’s recent history."

Leyburn Band are now having a well earned rest before their twice weekly rehearsals commence in the New Year.
