Tyne Valley Big band is delighted to be the resident Big Band of the prestigious Northumberland County Show since it moved to its new site in the grounds of Bywell Hall.

Here we see our main man, Mr Moocher himself Dave Hignett accompanying Miss Barbara Hignett, (no relation), in ‘Minnie the Moocher’

The rain held off this year so we were spared the mud but a keen breeze kept us on our toes with our pegging down music skills.

Our lovely Sax section

Trumpets, with special guest Alex Hignett all the way from Devon.

Trombones ‘Don’t look at them it only encourages them’

And it did!

Dan in his last county show before leaving us in September to pursue his studies in Barcelona! Good luck Dan.

Rhythm Boys keeping warm and sheltering the band from the wind.

Thanks to our sponsors Wylam Brewery for providing some liquid refreshment during the Gig.
