More bands say thanks and entertain...

Friary Brass Band, Meltham & Meltham Mills, and Carnoustie High School Brass Band provide extra entertainment and thanks during the lockdown...

Music
  Friary Brass and Carnoustie Youth Band are the latest bands to take to social media...

The Friary Brass Band has certainly been busy during the Coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

Despite missing out on the opportunity to try and add to their total of titles at the London & Southern Regional Championships, they have still been able to enjoy themselves.

Their version of 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' comes complete with the MD Chris King sporting a shirt last seen on Don Johnson in Miami Vice and Side Show Bob playing tenor horn... Great stuff...

Meanwhile, Meltham & Meltham Mils have gone 'Crazy' over Queen's 'Little Thing Called Love'...
