Summer Concert in Hythe (24th August 2024)

Listen to us on the Bandstand this Summer!

Summer Concert (Saturday 15th June 2024)

Lymington Town Band showcased their talents in Ringwood on Saturday 15th June with a concert at The Church of St Peter and St Paul. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience, comments include “from start to finish it was absolutely superb” and “a delight to listen to”.
Under the leadership of conductor Clive Burroughs, the band shared a varied programme which demonstrated their versatility to this new audience. The first half included highlights from the musicals The Greatest Showman and Chicago, pop favourites Georgy Girl and You Raise Me Up, the jazz standard Lullaby of Birdland with a fantastic clarinet solo from Jackie, a rousing medley of sea shanties, brought right up to date with the addition of Wellerman, and classical music by Saint-Saens.
In the second half the band commemorated the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings with a selection of music predominantly from the 1940s. There was a special arrangement of “Hampshire Planes” written to mark the local contribution to aircraft manufacture and the famous march Aces High. The audience enjoyed joining in with Forces Favourites Singalong, and a medley of songs from the home front. Some jazz classics were included here too, with Tuxedo Junction and Harlem Nocturne, the latter featuring a beautiful alto sax solo from Ann.
This was the first time the band have performed in Ringwood and the musicians were impressed with the beautiful acoustics of the church, which really enhanced the experience. They look forward to returning soon.
