The band recorded their first CD this weekend which will be on sale very soon. The Band would like to send a LARGE thank you to the following people for lending their talents to the band and aiding in the recording: Paul – Eb Bass Sue – 2nd Trombone and Percussion David – Solo Trombone Alan – Bb Bass The Band would also like to thank our very own Suzie for arranging for the DCF’s Hall (Deal Christian Fellowship) as the venue for the recording. Finally a big thanks to Andy Horne of Deal Swerve Digital for recording the CD.

Kevin Spencer has been awarded a Diploma in Conducting after a lot of hard work. He can now append the letters LLCM after his name. The band congratulates Kevin on his acheivement.

A dedicated website for the Snowdown Colliery Welfare Brass Band has now been developed by Ritchie Fraser. The Band formally had a collection of pages as part of Ritchie’s personal website at www.rpfraser.uklinux.net (No longer available). These pages have been split and developed solely for the Band into a site dedicated to the Snowdown Colliery Welfare Band.

The conductor of Snowdown Colliery Welfare Band, Micheal Brimson, resigned yesterday after three years in the position. The band thank him for his time and efforts to improve the band, and wish him all the best in his new endeavours. Unfortunately, this means that the band, is again looking for a new conductor. Anyone who is interested should contact the Chairman or the Band Secretary (See the About > Contacts page)

Kevin Spencer returns to his position as Conductor of Snowdown Colliery Welfare Band with renewed vigour and enthusiasm. Kevin, who conducted the band a few years ago, had to step down due to other commitments. We, the band, welcome him back, and hope that he will enjoy conducting us again.
