BOREHAMWOOD BRASS BAND CONCERT RAISES £1,000
Borehamwood Brass, the local brass band in Borehamwood gave a concert on Saturday 7th October 2017, at 96 Shenley Road, which was organised by the Anglican Parishes of Elstree and Borehamwood to help raise some money for the Holy Cross Church, in Balmoral Drive, where the band have rehearsed for over 30 years.

The concert raised over £1,000.00 including donations, making a total of £2,600.00 raised by the church so far, towards their target of £5,000.00.

The concert also included performances from Theatre Club, who roused the attending audience with songs from the ‘West End’
Piper George Macgregor also performed as the audience arrived and departed, giving an overall musical entertaining evening for everyone.

Revd Tim Warr, Vicar at All Saints Church welcomed and introduced the evening, and the Deputy Mayor of Elstree & Borehamwood, Cllr Victor Eni and his wife Martine were guests of honour.

Cllr Eni commented about the evening, ‘this is the perfect way to support our local community, with residents rallying together for the cause, well done all’.

He added ‘that the band, which were founded in 1971, have worked over the years to support the local community, supporting the Elstree & Borehamwood Town Council, Borehamwood & Elstree Twin Town Association, and other local community organised functions’.

The band meets most Friday night in the Holy Cross Church Hall in Balmoral Drive, Borehamwood, WD6 2QT, from 8.00 to 10.00 p.m. If you would like to join the band, or just try us out, please contact us beforehand to ensure we are meeting.
