Cambridge street methodist church October 2007
Cambridge St. Methodist Church, Accrington, a popular venue for Baxenden Band. A memorable concert given on October 18th 2007 included 'The Arcadians' overture by Arthur Wood, and a rousing performance of Edward German's 'The Yeomen of England' given by popular local bass-baritone and band member Tom Young (The Peter Dawson of Oswaldtwistle!)
Baxenden Concert Band is especially pleased to support the work of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, particularly as one of our most established members is afflicted with MS. The annual "Cake Break" is an ever popular event despite the problems of crumbs getting into the works!
