Results: BBL Solo & Quartet competition

There was a fantastic turn out of banding talent in Belfast last weekend — all trying to claim honours.

Friday, 18 February 2011

The 1st Old Boys Band enjoyed hosting a great day of competition at the Paton Memorial Halls, Malone Presbyterian Church in Belfast last weekend.

Up to 50 competitors

With some of the younger classes having up to 50 competitors taking part there was a wonderful atmosphere and plenty of fine playing to enjoy – especially for adjudicators Michael Hannan (Senior Section) and Bob Quick (Junior Section).
