On Thursday 10th November, Fermanagh Concert Band was welcomed to, “The Oaks Restaurant,” for the worthy cause of helping to raise money to buy a defibrillator for the village of Lisnarick. This was organised by St. Patrick's Church, Castle Archdale alongside the help of Canon Glenn West. With the relaxed atmosphere and the enthusiasm from the crowd it was easy to tell from the very first note that it was going to be a great night. The wide variety of pieces meant that there really was something for everyone. Thanks to the repertoire of up tempo and dynamic numbers, the whole audience was able to get involved with classics such as, “Hootenanny,” and “The Lord of the Dance,” really stealing the show.
As well as pieces from the band there were also an assortment of interludes from Lauren Coulter and Sacha White who both sang a number of solo pieces. Other performances included ‘Country Beat’ and Johnny Robinson who provided backing for other singers and musicians. This gave the concert a more diverse edge and really added a little something extra. Fermanagh Concert Band had a terrific time participating in this concert and was truly honoured to be asked to take part. Thanks must go to ‘The Oaks Restaurant’ and the Maguire family who really worked on promoting the event. The positive feedback and the smiles on everyone’s faces most certainly made this all worthwhile as it proved to be a fun-filled night for all!
