Always a great day out we have been attending this fabulous annual event since we first formed the band!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we got a nice late afternoon slot giving us time to eye up the other bands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks to the organisers and adjudicators who put in so much time and effort to make this such a successful event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got some nice adjudicator comments and a great write up from Russell at Bebop Spoken Here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>The tenth and final band of the day featured the mighty Tyne Valley Big Band <\/strong>(MD<\/strong>, Dave Hignett<\/strong>). In excess of twenty musicians on stage, the TVBB doesn’t do things by halves. D<\/strong>ave Connolly<\/strong>‘s arrangement of Hoyt Curtin’s much-loved theme tune The Flintstones<\/em> kick-started the set (Tom Cantwell<\/strong>, guitar, Niall Armstrong<\/strong>, tenor sax). The TVBB marked the 30th anniversary of the global touring phenomenon Riverdance <\/em>in typical style – all sections giving it some. And to close, local hero Sam Fender’s People Watching <\/em>was given the big band treatment, vocalist Barbara Hignett<\/strong> giving it her all alongside MD  – and trumpet ace – Dave Hignett <\/strong>blowing the roof off the place. If you’re listening to the Tyne Valley Big Band you cant be having anything other than a Yabba-dabba doo time<\/em>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
