Emsworth Concert Band kindly provided a magnificent concert in late March, at The Bourne Community School, and was able to bolster charity funds for Southbourne Lions.

Some forty talented musicians entertained with a mixture of classical, modern music and musical theatre numbers. Andy Hall, their very talented and passionate musical director is also a serving member of His Majesty’s Royal Marines. 

Earlier this year Andy entered the Band into the Chichester Festival for Music, Dance and Speech and they won their class with an “outstanding” score and were awarded the Mayor’s Cup for the best festival performance overall!

The profits from this wonderful concert which provided so much pleasure to the local community were kindly donation by the Band to Southbourne Lions Charity which funds local needs throughout the year.
