I hope our own A52s don’t mind that we have brazenly lifted the following from their Facebook page:
The band is playing on home territory this Saturday (2nd July). Parwich Wakes is starting and a week of fun is about to start!
We will be playing on The Green starting around 9pm. For one night only we will be joined by guest drummer Alex Martin. Here’s a moody promo pic so you can see just what a cool bunch we are.
Hope to see you there!

Carols on the Village Green

Below are a few photos from a lovely night singing carols on the Village Green with Ashbourne Town Band. Even a bit of rain couldn’t dampen the festive spirit, all helped by the mulled wine and mince pies.
Thanks to John F-S for the photos
The Christmas Tree on the Green
Posted in Carnival & Recreation on Tuesday December 9, 2014| 1 Comment »
Well trying to be clever in the previous post didn’t seem to work, as no one noticed that David and Roy were appearently holding a very large tree several feet off the ground. So here is the full picture:
Many thanks to the F-Ss for providing the tree and to David W, Jimmy W, Roy M and Denis L for putting up the tree.
Christmas is coming!
