Festival 2009

The reduction in space in the new venue, the magnificent Marlborough Town Hall, compared to the venue of previous years did not seriously affect the success of this years Festival. Hard work by all members of the Band and Friends of Phoenix involved insured that everything ran smoothly and a good day was had by all.

A very close result  with difficult decisions for him to make was the comment of adjudicator, Mike Kilroy. He also stated that it was very pleasing to see so many young players taking part in the competition.

The day finished with a massed band concert with players from the Pangbourne Band joining The Cricklade Band and Phoenix Brass in a varied and entertaining programme. During the concert,  accompanied by our band, Mike Kilroy performed his last solo public performance on euphonium, performing four memorable solos that delighted the audience and band players alike.
