Sandhurst comes to Edmondson's Ade

The Sandhurst Silver Band has been putting in a musical appearance with former 'Young Ones' star Ade Edmondson.

Sandhurst Silver
 

As comedian and actor Ade Edmondson takes to the road for his third series of ‘Ade in Britain’ this month, keen eyed viewers will have spotted an appearance from Sandhurst Silver.

Explore

During the third programme, the presenter decided to explore the riches of Berkshire, and took part in many of the local traditions, including Hungerford's ancient Hocktide celebrations, mucking around with some pigs and exploring the art of fly-fishing.

For the final part of the episode he met a 10 piece from Sandhurst Silver Band under the stunning backdrop of Windsor Castle, where soprano player Jonathon Bowden took to the stirrups with a great rendition of the Post Horn Gallop.

Delights

Chris Hill (cornet) and Marcus Gibbons (trombone) were then on hand to aid Ade so to speak, with the history and culture of the band and of course to taste the sugary delights from the stove.

Re-run

To close the show, the band signed off with the ‘Earl of Oxford's March’ by William Byrd.

A re-run of the Ade Edmondson’s visit to Berkshire can be seen on the ITV iPlayer
