Crewe Concert Band entertains Wistaston Spring concert goers

By Jonathan White
Wistaston Memorial Hall was crammed full with music lovers for the village’s annual Spring Concert.

Crewe Concert Band , under musical director and conductor Albert Dunseath, performed a mix of music from jazz, musicals, to a Frank Sinatra tribute.

There were two solo performances by Wyn Barnett, who played a trombone solo called ‘Misty’ as arranged by Marcel Peeters, and John Priest who played ‘The Concertino For Clarinet Opus 26’.

The audience was able to clap along with the ‘Radetzy March’.

At the end of the Concert the Band was given a spontaneous standing ovation.

A surprise item was ‘The Londonderry Air’ which was first played by Jane Ross in Limavady, Northern Ireland.

The raffle was organised by Glenys White, Christopher White, Tom Jones and Bill Heath.

Refreshments were organised by Audrey Astbury, Eileen Robertson and a team of helpers.

Concert organiser John White said: “The evening proved to be a memorable and enjoyable variety concert of live music.

“The proceeds were shared between the Band and the Hall. It was another great success at the Hall.”
