On Friday 27th June Morecambe Band gave a stunning performance in the Shire Hall in Lancaster Castle.

The band played a very eclectic program including the test pieces "Music For Greenwich" By Edward Gregson and "Dark Side Of The Moon" That the band played for this year's (2008) Regional Contest at Blackpool Winter Gardens in March. Members of the band filled the concert programme with solos; Paul Woodhead played "Anything But Lonely", Carol Blaylock played "I've Got You Under my Skin", John Innes played "Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair", and Alan Bateson played "Fair Maid of Perth". These, combined with the superb venue, provided a memorable evening for both guests and players alike. 

Morecambe entered the  Kirkby Lonsdale contest the 15th of June 2008 achieving 4 trophies! These categories won were 'Best Hymn', '1st in Section' , and 'Conductors Award' - these combining to ensure the band we also won 'Best Overall Band'.

Photos and responses from band members will hopefully be added shortly. In the meantime, there is an article about the event on 4barsrest.....
