Cory help Goodwick centenary celebration

British Open champion help Welsh League winners celebrate 100th anniversary.

Goodwick
 

Welsh League champion Goodwick Brass from Pembrokeshire, recently held its centenary celebrations.

Workshop and concert

Members of the Cory Band helped in workshops with the young players throughout the day, before the British Open champion delivered a celebration concert in the superb setting of the famous of St David’s Cathedral.

The workshop was attended by over 70 young brass players and at its conclusion a massed band of Cory and Goodwick players got together to perform some of the music they practiced during the day.

Rousing climax

The evening concert featured Cory under Dr Robert Childs in the first half, followed by Goodwick in the second under the baton of Matthew Jenkins. The two ensembles joined forces for a rousing climax with a performance of ‘Pines of Rome’, which rocked the foundations of the medieval church.

This was a remarkable day, with an outstanding workshop and a memorable concert. I'm sure that the Goodwick players will cherish this moment for a long, long timeGoodwick Chairman, Tony Evans

Memorable

Tony Evans, Chairman of Goodwick Brass, told 4BR: "This was a remarkable day, with an outstanding workshop and a memorable concert. I would like to thank Dr Childs and the Cory Band. I'm sure that the Goodwick players will cherish this moment for a long, long time."
