The Woodfalls Concert Brass performed to an audience in St.Thomas’ Church Salisbury last night in the first of their summer season of concerts.

The concert season sponsored by Waitrose saw an evening of multi-sensory enjoyment. The debut outing of the band’s new stand banners gave a fresh and highly professional appearance. A varied programme of pieces ranging from John Williams’ “Hymn to the Fallen” through to the bright a cheerful jazz of Glen Miller and Count Basie, and solos and features from Jon Pickard, Dan Pearce, Rickard Sjoberg and our highly flexible percussion section saw something for everyone to enjoy. The icing on the cake was the opportunity to taste some of the delights from the Salisbury branch of Waitrose. With wines, cheeses and sweet and savoury for all to try the evening was no doubt a feast for the senses. The band are looking forward to the next one in Lymington on the 19th July, not least for more tastings! Yum!
