MEMORIAL CONCERT

On Saturday 12 May in the hall at Enniskillen Library we had a great evening, if a rather bittersweet occasion in that the concert was organised by Enniskillen Presbyterian church in memory of Andrew Reid, a local solicitor who died last year and who was, all too briefly, a member of the saxophone section of Fermanagh Concert Band.  We were pleased to play for this occasion, the money raised being in aid of a project dear to Andrew’s heart, the restoration of the Presbyterian church hall.  Our musical services were acknowledged by a financial donation, an extremely generous gesture for which we are most grateful.

The hall was packed on the night and we delivered a programme chock-full of variety selected from our current repertoire.  Afterwards everyone mingled for chat over supper and it really was quite an occasion.

By the way, although we usually play for a fee, as described above we can always negotiate alternative arrangements with promoters, for example accepting a donation afterwards if the event is organised for charitable purposes.  Worth a thought, if anyone reading this is thinking of putting such an evening together.  Get in touch!
