Deepcar star in Whit Friday feature

A great short feature production following the Deepcar Band on this year's Whit Friday is quickly becoming an internet hit.

Whit Friday
 

If you want to get a taste for what it’s like for a band to take part in the famous Whit Friday contests, then multi-media producer Russell Cavanagh took the opportunity to make a short feature on the Deepcar Band as they made their way around the Saddleworth circuit this year.

States

Speaking to 4BR, Russell said that he had a great time as he filmed the band in action as well as talking to players of rival bands — some in better states of preparation and attire than others!

"It was a wonderful opportunity to try something different with Deepcar. MD Lindon Bolt and the players really bought into the concept and off we went.

It was a great occasion and made all the better by the band having such an enjoyable time — including a victory in the Fourth Section at Diggle!"
