The concert started at 7.30 with the South West Trains Woodfalls Band demonstrating that this is a band in fine form and still basking in its recent success of 4^th place at the "All England Masters". The Risca Male Choir from South Wales then followed with a consummate performance that complimented the brass like a fine wine. The half closed with a ‘mature’ performance from its band of 1967, …..there may be snow on the roof but there’s still a fire burning in the grate - this band stole the show before inviting the current band to join them in a performance of the Cossack. The second half mirrored the first but with the old boys now seated in the packed audience. The 4^th movement from Saint-Sean’s Organ Symphony brought the show to a close before the friends of Woodfalls Band retired to the foyer to enjoy a buffet and a drink with members both old and new.

Sunday morning and a few members of each band, now including the Woodfalls Concert Brass, joined forces to accompany the hymn singing at the adjacent Methodist Chapel in Woodfalls – this, after all, was the reason for forming the band 130 years ago at the foundation of the new chapel. The chapel’s 130th anniversary service was now a timely moment for the band to give thanks for not only one Woodfalls Band but, now that the old boys have reformed, four – all alive and well and still playing in Woodfalls.
