The band were delighted to entertain guests at an 80th birthday party on Sunday 24th September.
The birthday girl, Maureen, wasn’t expecting a brass band to turn up to her birthday celebrations and according to her daughter, Helen, “Mum’s face was a picture!”.
Helen added – “The music was fabulous and everyone joined in! Brilliant time had by us all.”
