A Christmas Carol & Other Festive Favourites

On Thursday 18th December, Staines Brass held their annual Christmas Concert at St Peter's Church. The band opened with 'Joy To The World' & carried on with many festive numbers & featured a handful of soloists. Jo Matthews, Principal Cornet, treated the audience to a wonderful performance of 'The Rocking Carol', whilst Richard Pemberton, Flugel Horn, delighted with 'Away In A Manger'. The final item in the first half of the programme was 'Three King Swing' which featured Jason Pickin on trumpet. During the second half, Matt Gray performed 'Frosty The Snowman' on Bass Trombone whilst the final soloist was Neil Wharton, Euphonium, with a lyrical rendition of 'O Holy Night'. Many of the audience commented on how much they enjoyed the evenings entertainment & will hopefully be back again at St Peter's on Thursday 19th February 2009 for our next concert.                                                                                    Also during the evening, the inaugural draw for the 'Friends of Staines Brass & Staines Lammas Band' took place. The winners can be seen on the 'Friends' page.

Christmas Number One?

Could Jo Mathews, Principal Cornet, be the next Christmas number one? 19 year old jazz singer Victoria Hart recorded the hit Santa Baby, originally made famous by Marilyn Monroe, accompanied by the Household Division Big Band & is launching her challenge for the Christmas number one slot. On the 8th December the single will be available to download and will be available on general release in a store near you on the 15th December. All the proceeds are going to the army charity the "Army Benevolent Fund" so please find it in your heart to search that Christmas spirit and buy it. You can view the recording session at Wellington Barracks on YouTube by clicking here.
