The Longridge Band has been extremely busy over the past two weeks working with Mike Cotter and Steven Tarry preparing for the recent concert which was held last Saturday at Bolton School.

Paid off

All the hard work put in by all members in the band certainly paid off for as members in the audience thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

All the pieces that were performed were taken from the movies and brought the music to life using costumes and effective lightning.

The soloist of the band also went into character for the pieces that they were performing. The bands Solo horn player Steven Brodie who played “Over the Rainbow” became Dorothy Gale, whilst the trombone section of Becky Stead, Sue Newby and George Guyer played “I Will Follow Him” as three nuns.

Last of the Mohicans?

The band even went as far as having their very own Celine Dion played by Alice Newby who sang “My Heart Will Go On”, whilst two fiddle players Niami Bodle and Sarah Allen played “The Gael” with the two percussion players Don Stables and Mike Edge dressed as Mohicans.

This night was a complete success and was sold out quite a few days before the concert for all those who did not manage to see it a great night was missed.

The band would like to thank Mike Cotter and Steven Tarry for all the hard work gone into putting the show together.
