In Concert with Lincoln Male Voice Choir
What a concert! What an amazing audience! Sometimes the stars align just right. Saturday 1st November saw Woodhall Spa Community Band host the Lincoln Male Voice Choir at St. Peter's Church Hall in a sell-out concert.
The first half saw the choir, conducted by Thomas Chambers, perform a range of carefully-chosen pieces including beautiful, moving renditions of Bring Him Home, You Raise Me up, The Rhythm of Life and What A Wonderful World. Accompanist, Yuan Styles, enthralled the audience with her rendition of Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique Sonata No. 8 (1st movement).
Woodhall Spa Community Band kicked off the second half in high gear with the impressive Storm, based on Vivaldi's Four Seasons, then kept the energy levels high through a medley of 60s rock classics, Abba on Broadway, raucous sea shanties and the epic Final Countdown.
The final part of the concert saw the choir and band combine to produce memorable performances of Gwahoddiad, You'll Never Walk Alone, Nessun Dorma and Oh When The Saints Go Marching In. The stirring finale of Eric Coates' Dam Busters brought audience members to their feet.
Thank you to all who attended and made this a concert to remember. If you haven't managed to come along to a WSCB performance yet, our Christmas Concert is on Saturday 6th December at 7pm, St. Peter's Hall, with tickets going on sale at Peter Scott Shoes shortly.

Absolutely stonkingly good Christmas Concert at St. Peter's Hall last night. The evening was fun, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The band sounded amazing! Feedback has been incredible so far; "joyous", "with lots of fun and laughter injected into the evening" and praising the "superb musicians" and the 24-prize advent mega raffle. The festive programme included plenty of musical highlights as well as audience participation with carol singing and light-hearted interpretative dance to the Twelve Days of Christmas! If you missed out this time, be sure not to miss our next themed concert at the end of March - follow us here on Facebook for updates. Thank you to all who attended and to all our family, friends and supporters for making this a memorable evening. We can't wait to move forward with the amazing Tom Law as our MD.

Concert Success for Spa Community Band
The evening of Friday 7th June saw the first independent concert held by Woodhall Spa Community Band. The successful event at St Peter’s Church Hall on The Broadway in Woodhall Spa, was very well-attended and supported by the village and surrounding area. Conducted by Musical Director, Andrew Morley, the programme included a fantastic mix of classical, traditional, modern, West End show, swing and jazz music. The stirring might of The Dambusters and impressive Instant Concert encore rounded off a very enjoyable performance with attendees tapping their toes and clapping along.
The band was very pleased and encouraged to receive amazing positive feedback praising the evening; “A great performance” and “So much talent on show!” Audience members enjoyed interval refreshments and the chance to take part in a raffle with some super prizes. Among the first prizes to be won were vouchers generously donated by the concert’s sponsor, Peter Scott Shoes of The Broadway, along with donations from Lily’s Boutique and Horncastle Co-op. The band is very grateful for the support received locally for the event; for the volunteers who helped with front of house, refreshments and compering, and for the contributions by friends of the band, Pete Barnfather, Jim McQuade BEM and JJ Baigent, who performed as guests. The funds raised by the concert will be crucial for the band’s future growth and further development of its musical repertoire.
Hopefully, this will be the first of many such concerts by the band for the public and they are already planning their next stand-alone appearance for later in the year. For more information on forthcoming events, to book the band for your event or to enquire about joining us as a musician, please head to our Facebook page or website, or call 07477165474.
