Summer Sounds 2006 Preview

by Stephen Murray

This year's Summer Sounds will once again take place towards the end of July, beginning on the 22nd right through until the 28th. Following last year's final week with Archie Hutchison this year Alan Bourne will take the senior band through their paces with what will surely be another excellent week.

Also this year the band welcomes a new face to the week. Alan will bring with him former Buy-As-You-View Cory Band second euphonium player Gareth Ritter. Gareth is also a former conductor of the Welsh Youth Band will take our youth band assisted by Claire Bourne who returns again for the week.

The week promises to be one of the best yet and undoubtedly there will various other side events to the week. So all that remains to be said is, "roll on July!".
