and details for your 2011 diaries this time.
The past event was a festival of music organised by
Phoenix Brass Band, based in Froxfield. The difference was that it featured the
music of those just finding their way as musicians. The afternoon in early May
consisted of bands’ training organisations showcasing their talents. Cricklade’s
Band Academy flew the flag in fine style, impressing the audience with not only
their musicianship but also their sense of entertaining
performance.

Night Out we promised? It’s actually going to be a Big Night Out at Casino
Royale – there are lots more details to follow of course but in an 007-themed
night out we will have a casino, we’ll have some suitable food and drink, we’ll
leave it to you what you wear to impress (diamonds are forever!). Oh, and we’ll
have one of the biggest dance bands in the country – that’ll be our band then.
Be shaken AND stirred!
