In any ‘normal’ year our Band would be gathering near Bournemouth Square and preparing to lead the parade of veterans to the Cenotaph.

A Bit Of Light Relief
OK, so a bit of fun tonight and, as it’s Saturday it ought to be something to complete with Strictly 😏
Relaxing Percussion

Serenade for Lockdown
For the first night of lockdown part 2 I think something gentle is appropriate 😊
Some Soft Jazz
Still no winner formally declared in the US presidential election, so perhaps we need some more chillin’ music 😉
Election Day Relaxation
As it is election day across the pond it feels like we should have some music from there. Going to make it quite a gentle one to calm the nerves 😊

Scary Music
A late one tonight!! Something suitable for October 31st.
A Magic Brass Quintet
This has been on my list of “pieces for Friday” for a while. It is from one of my favourite Canadian Brass CDs – “Magic Horn” (and is also a great video!!)
