That’s the first of the Christmas gigs out of the way – the lights switch on at East Leake. Compared to other years, it was neither as cold (mid-teens rather than near freezing) nor as wet (clear skies and no rain falling) so very easy conditions. The pieces also went well and I’m looking forward to the next Charnwood Concert Band at All Saints Church, Thorpe Acre, next Saturday evening, which will probably be a similar set but with one or two other pieces we dropped for the outside setting.
