The wedding gig on Saturday went very well for the quintet. Even our sight reading of Sousa’s “Semper Fidelis” march was fine despite it being a 10 piece arrangement and each of us having to cover two parts. Having the appropriate music to play is of course, all part of our unique Bristol Brass “Gig Management System” (GMS) ™. Still, the bride was lovely and there was a fee and some free beer so all’s well with the world.

The next Bristol Brass concert is not until 19^th December at St. John’s Church in Axbridge, Somerset followed by a similar event in Weston Super Mare on the 21^st. Thanks to our foolproof GMS, except for Paul none of us knows precisely where this gig is. Both concerts will feature the respective church choirs and lots of Christmas favourites.

If you’ve never been to one of our concerts (you see, there are some things to be grateful for) and wonder what we sound like then check out the CD Track Listing page of our website where there are some excerpts of our CD “Music for Metal Instruments”. Or better still visit the Concert Diary page where again, thanks to the indispensable GMS you may find details of forthcoming concerts posted before we actually perform them.

Incidentally, as Christmas is fast approaching and you're probably looking for some non-naff Christmas cards, try out the Musicians Benevolent Fund website where you can get some classy cards at very reasonable prices.
