The band were coerced into an evening of subterfuge in the planning of a surprise 60th birthday party for Dave Lamb, treasurer and long time Bass player with our friends the Prudhoe Community Band.
Mr Lamb joined the band to pick up his Bass Guitar for a sight read rendition of his favourite number “Birdland” joined by Daughter Katherine on Jazz Clarinet and Son Matthew “Choppy” Lamb (also seen in several other numbers ripping out some storming Also and Tenor solos.) PCB Chairman Steve Quill i’am was also spotted with his old trombone.
A great night was had by all.
Thanks as always to our sponsors Wylam Brewery for again providing a supply of excellent Wylam Gold for the band and guests.
