St. Martin's ChurchWomersleySaturday 2nd February 2008As has become somewhat of a tradition in previous years, the first concert of the new year was held in the delightful St. Martin's Church, Womersley. This has become regular event for us for many years now, which is very much enjoyed by the Band. We are always made very welcome and Judith and the team can't seem to do enough for us. It was delightful to see so many regular faces for this event and get a chance to catch up with many of them. Many came up after the event to say how much they had enjoyed it once again, and there were even people there for the first time who also told us how much they had enjoyed the whole concert. As usual, the organisers provided an excellent spread of refreshments, including the very welcome warm mulled wine, which was brought to people at their seats (due to space restrictions). Once again, this was a great evening enjoyed by both the audience and the band, and we already look forward to coming back next year. DIVA Spring ShowcaseCentral Methodist Church, PontefractFriday 25th April 2008KCB have been involved with the Development Initiatives for Voluntary Arts (DIVA) for many years now. For more information of this excellent group who dedicate their time and efforts into developing all types of Arts for the local area, please see our Links page. We were again able to support this excellent group by performing in the first concert DIVA arranged for their first Spring Showcase event. That was a weekend of events to highlight local arts of all varieties and included two concerts of music and song, paintings, pottery, photography and so much more. The events were based in the Central Methodist Church and at other locations around Pontefract. The first half of the concert featured the voices of the Pontefract Male Voice Choir who looked excellent in their blue blazers. We have performed at events with this choir before and as usual they put on a great performance. During the interval, the audience were able to view the many paintings, photographs and items of pottery produced by local art groups, as they enjoyed their refreshments. In the second half of the concert, KCB took to the stage and thrilled the audience with a wide range of music that we had been preparing for the occasion. I hears after the even that "Ticket to Ride" (originally by the Beatles) had gone down particularly well. This was a great evening enjoyed by both the audience and the performers and is a tribute to the work that DIVA had put into the preparations. I understand the whole weekend, including the second concert on the Saturday evening, had gone down very well and we wish them continued success with plans to put on further showcase events to publicise local arts in the area.
