Christmas Sing-along!

Leave a comment

Had a very busy morning with Paul Cosh, putting out posters and tickets for our Christmas Sing-along concert, which is on the 15th December at the Digby Hall.  Should be a great evening and one filled with a lot of laughs!  We have some exciting appearances from members of the band, dressed in Wizard of Oz costumes, and also the amazing Pete Shutler returns to the stage!

Long Sutton Village Hall…

Leave a comment

Well, the Stompers were out again last night, Saturday 13th October, in true Oom-pah style at the Long Sutton Village Hall.  The organisers had put on a whole host of German themed offerings, including food, drink (beer of course!) and they were certainly dressed to impress!

The band had a great night, and with the atmosphere created by the villagers, it was a night to remember.  It was a fantastic place to play, and we just hope we’re invited back again!  Thanks go to Alan and Sarah who joined the band for the night, and seemed to enjoy themselves as German women for the evening!

Check out the video below from our YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/sherbornetownband).  I’ll be sure to keep you posted on any other Stomping activities this year, although there are no other dates booked this year.

Stomping in late!

Saturday 29th September saw the Sherbavarian Stompers play a lively mix of German, Spanish, English and American music, at Paulton Rovers Football Club.  The night was a great success, raising funds for charity alongside the Midsomer Norton and Radstock Lions club.

The evening got off to an interesting start, as the band were delayed somewhat on the A37, having run out of Diesel!  The band were in good spirits as we waited for the chairman to arrive with some supplies!  We were soon on our way and arrive at the club to a big cheer!

 

The evening was enjoyed by all, and dancing, singing and much audience participation was initiated!

Thanks must go to Barry Rogers for his organisation and help with the event.  The band look forward to coming back, next year!

The Sherbavarian Stompers will be performing at Long Sutton Village Hall, Saturday 13th October at 7.30pm. 

 

 

Last Night of The Proms

Leave a comment

I had a very exiting day yesterday, running from place to place in Sherborne town centre putting up posters for the band’s Last Night of The Proms concert.

Paul and I had a wonderful morning meeting all sorts of lovely people who put posters up for us. We also had a pint in the Digby Tap!! (Who also put a poster up for us!)

The concert is set to be a true success and the poster (designed by Matt Murphy) reflects this.

The concert will be held at the Digby Hall, Saturday 22nd September, 7.30pm. Tickets can be obtained from the website, £7.

Planning and rehearsal is already under way for the concert and our guest Soprano Elizabeth Skinner will be visiting the band room shortly!

Go on-get your ticket now!

Wells Park Concert, 22nd July 2012

Leave a comment

The weather was on our side yesterday at the park in Silver Street, Wells in Somerset.  It was a beautiful day and the sun shone throughout the afternoon.  Hundreds of people turned out to hear the band, and it was also a great opportunity to show off the music from the new CD – Jubilee!

Thanks goes to Wells park for putting on the event, and also to the hard-working staff in the refreshment tent!  A lovely afternoon was had by all.

A “stomping” night in Yetminster!

Leave a comment

The Sherbavarian Stompers went down a treat, as ever, at their annual Yetminster concert.  On the eve of Yetminster Fair, after folk had departed from the drizzle and wetness of Yetminster high street, Yetminster Football Club was packed out with a keen audience, ready to participate in music and song, in the true Bavarian style!

The evening was a great success and went on, in true style late into the night.  Sherborne Town Band would like to thank Yetminster Football Club and the audience who made the night.  We look forward to next year!

If you would like to book the Sherbavarian Stompers for a party / wedding / Beer festival, please check the main website at www.sherbornetownband.co.uk and click on About Us.
