Turning back the musical years

Stan Lippeatt and Geoff Hawley have been enjoying themselves turning back the musical years.

Stan Lipepatt turning back the musical years
 

Last weekend Stan Lippeatt and Geoff Hawley turned back the years when playing in a concert with the Hatfield Band as they once again took to their feet over 30 years after their first solo performances together.

Memories

Stan performed ‘Concerto De Aranguez’ before being joined by Geoff for ‘Pie Jesu’ which brought back great memories for them both with memories of the CD recording Stan made entitled, Friends’ in 1988, on which Geoff played soprano.
