Farewell - for now!
Tuesday 23rd Sep 2008, lunch time
At the charity concert on Friday night the band bid 'adieu' to solo horn player Kirsty Blain. Kirsty is off to Aberystwyth to uni, and will be a great loss to the band. Kirsty started in the training band and progressed to solo horn in the main band - featuring on the band's CD (for sale on this site!). More recently she took on tutoring duties with some of the training band youngsters, including her first exam success with Liam Jackson.
Of course the band is hoping that her career moves will bring her back to Chester sometime in the future, but for now we wish Kirsty well at uni. Kirsty was presented with a 'Saxophone' stand and a photo book of the CD recording weekend at the recent solo competition and on Friday night the main band presented her with the now traditional 'uni pack' of pots and pans.
