Flixton Band congratulates and sends our best wishes to new Mum Vicky Finlay, new Dad Matthew, and of course to Emilia as well.

The date and venue of the next concert have been moved to 3rd July at Hayeswater Road Methodist Church. The original time clashed with England's first match at the football World Cup.

The calm after the storm! With the Area contest out of the way the band has returned to regular Monday and Thursday rehearsals at the bandroom. The focus of these rehearsals is on music for the forthcoming concerts at Broomwood on 15th May and nextdoor to the bandroom at the Brook Road Methodist Church on 12th June.

The band has welcomed Joe Sharples to the trombone section. He replaces Mark Willans, who remains registered with the band but cannot currently commit to regular rehearsals.
