SILSDEN TOWN BAND – CROSS HILLS METHODIST CHURCH REVIEWQuote from Keighley News 5th May 2010 "Silsden Town Band is one of those brass bands that prefer not to go in for traditional band contests but instead, concentrate on supporting local community events. As such, they can be seen throughout the year at village galas, summer fairs, church services, Christmas extravaganzas and such like. Last Saturday’s concert at Cross Hills was one such occasion. It was advertised as an ‘Evening of Popular Music’ but what it didn’t advertise was the sheer variety and quality of their band. In front of a packed house, they treated the audience not only to the band classics of marches like ‘Slaidburn’ and hymn tunes such as ‘Deep Harmony’ but also to big band sounds, selections from musicals, right up to (relatively) modern pieces like ‘Is this the Way to Amarillo’. Possibly the musical highlight was a brilliant rendition of ‘Buglers Holiday’ featuring three very talented cornet players, ably supported by the rest of the band. Further variety was added by a tuba quartet and a standard brass quartet. Musical Director, Andrew Dunn should be congratulated on achieving such a high concert performance from the band. Add to the mix a delightful supper prepared by the ladies of the church and a raffle organised by the band and the result was a brilliant Saturday night out for a fiver! Well done to all!"
Anyone interested in playing a brass instrument and being part of a friendly band, should ring Band Secretary: Claire Corp 07884 363148 or Musical Director: Andrew Dunn 07766 668920
