Almost two years to the day since their last joint concert, Bay Brass and Lympstone (formerly the SW Comms Band) put on a joint concert at Southernhay Church on Saturday 14th October. Both bands were using the concert as an opportunity to pre-perform their test pieces ahead of the SWBBA Contest on 4th November in front of a live audience. As with the previous concert, Bay took the first half and Lympstone the second before joining for two massed bands items. 
  • Prismatic Light (Alan Fernie) 
  • London River (Reginald Heath) 
  • Demelza (Hugh Nash) (Tenor Horn Soloist Stephanie Wilmott) 
  • Mr Blue Sky (Arr. Steve Thomas) 
  • The Greatest Showman (Trs. Christopher Bond) 
  • The Golden Lady (Goff Richards)

I was very proud of Steph stepping up to perform Demelza in front of the audience members and the members of Lympstone Band. It's extremely rare that she puts herself up for solos but she performed very well.
