Just to stop Malcolm twisting.......




A few good quality pics from Remembrance day - Isn't Andy a poser?

There you go Malcolm 'Front and centre' - Looks like Matthew is taking the watch the feet in front a bit too seriously!

Provisonal fund raising job at the Metro Centre

We have managed to secure a date to raise funds for the band on Saturday 19th December (pending our completed application) - pencil it in to your diary. The Band performances are likely to be between the panto perfomances (oh yes they will!)

It'll be an ideal opportunity to put on a decent showcase for the band and to help bolster the coffers for much needed funds for the band - we'll need loads of collectors.

Band job at Airport hotel

Just to remind everyone there is a Band job on the evening of the 4th December at the Brittania Hotel near Ponteland International meeting at 7.30 - Sandra says don't be late!!

Royal Grammar School

A Big thanks to everyone that turned up and performed last night. The organiser has apologised for the waiting around - but they were particularly impressed and appreciative of the Band turning out.

Don't know what it is but I haven't been able to stop singing 'Don'tcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me...' since last night

Just to remind everyone that the band are playing at the Dunston Fed on Friday night as part of the Armistice performance.

The Sage

Just to let everyone know - the band are on youtube again - it's quite good quality and the clip is over 6 minutes long. To access it all you need to do is go to youtube - then type in the key words - mabon sage gateshead 2009 - and the clip is there.

By the way well done to everyone that performed - it sounded like it was never going to end!
