Concerts in Bournemouth, Dorset and beyond – a typical year
We perform several concerts throughout the year and each is very different depending on where we play and the time of year. Check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for lots of photos and videos.
Each concert has its own theme. In the summer we often play well-known pop tunes, film classics and some Disney numbers – pieces that we know the crowd loves. We play in public places like Kingston Lacy and the grounds of Highcliffe Castle.
At Christmas we round off the year nicely by playing carols all around Bournemouth and surrounding areas. We busk outside supermarkets, garden centres and shopping centres collecting money for band funds (we’re a registered charity) and our chosen charity of the year.
Here’s what a typical year of concerts looks like for us:
March/April/May: A formal indoor Spring concert
May/June: Playing at the Queen’s Park Infant Academy school fete - the venue where we rehearse
June and July: Informal summer concerts in local outdoor venues like bandstands and gardens. Here we are performing at Regent’s Park Bandstand in London:
October every other year: We go on tour! In 2024 we went to the Isle of Wight; in 2022 we went on tour to Falmouth; and in 2018 we went to Wales
October/November: A formal indoor Autumn concert - alternating at home and away on tour
December:
A carol service at Queen’s Park Infant Academy, where we rehearse each week
A formal Christmas concert
Busking in small groups around Bournemouth and the local area to raise money for our band (a registered charity) and our charity of the year. You’ll find us playing Christmas carols outside supermarkets, garden centres and shopping centres
