50th Anniversary Celebrations

On Saturday 13th 2015 Hangleton Band Celebrated our 50th Anniversary at the Windmill Theatre in Hove. Over 135 people came to the afternoon reunion, renewed old acquaintances, ate fabulous food, listened to the 10-piece play, had a go at playing themselves, took part in photo-sessions and ate cake!
The concert inside was fully attended - over 300 people, including the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, watched a musical journey through the last 50 years, watched Alan Thomas's superb solo, a fully automated Youth Band conductor, a timbrel routine and, of course, the finale of the timeless Hootenany!
Huge thanks to everyone behind the scenes who made the whole day possible, including Clair Wilson, Kevin O'Shea, Jane Glineur, Rachel Taylor, Iso Aplin, Rachel Colcombe, Richard Baker and to the members of the Band who came to sub-committee meetings & came along early to help set everything up today.
