We were delighted when WB Band was again invited to join forces with Over Alderley Band at
Rainow Church Fete. What an amazing experience to ride through the village on a trailer sitting on hay bales playing Yankee Doodle Dandy!
Surreal or what?

The ride was over all too quickly, but that wasn't the end of the show.
The "massed bands" of Over Alderley and Whaley Bridge played two sets during the afternoon to entertain the crowd. Fortunately we were under shelter (or at least most of us were - a few players on the windward side did get a little damp) and it was a great sense of occasion to play so well together after only one joint rehearsal.
Many thanks to Rob and Lindsay, who play with both bands, for arranging this joint venture.
Hope we'll be back again next year.
