Several years ago, the Town Council decided to invite the Watership Brass to become the official Town Band and they agreed to this. There have been a number of occasions when they have played as the Newbury Town band. I was therefore very pleased to support their coffee morning on 1 December 2007 at the Town Hall. When Edwina Cooper and I arrived at around 10 30a.m, the Council Chamber was already busy with customers who were obviously delighted with the music which could be heard throughout the building. I love to hear brass bands playing although you could say that they are a silver band. I also am very pleased to see young musicians playing as they are the seed corn of the future for these bands.
We did go around the tables talking to the customers, some of whom were visitors to the town either from excursion coaches which stop at the Wharf for an hour or so, or those from outlying villages who come to shop.
We enjoyed our coffee and meeting members of the Band and we hoped that they would make a great deal of money which would benefit the band in the future.
