St. Mary's Church, Hadlow

Our first concert as an independent band was at St. Mary's Church, Hadlow, on 2nd December 2006.
We all agreed that it was an ambitious attempt, but feel it went rather well. We were particularly pleased to get such a large audience, many of whom seemed very willing to put their hands in their pockets to help us support Hospice in the Weald.

Thanks go to Hadlow Pharmacy and Brittens Music, Tunbridge Wells for helping us sell tickets.

And for donations to the raffle, we thank:
            The Rose Revived, Hadlow
            Hadlow College Plant Centre  
            Britten's Music
            Peter Warner's Studio

A special vote of thanks goes to Judd School, for the loan of music stands and percussion, and, finally, thanks to St. Mary's Church for such a pleasant venue
