The Festive Season is now available!

Posted on Monday 21 November 2016

At a special launch concert in Cranleigh, we were delighted to launch our latest recording, The Festive Season to the public with sixteen unique Christmas-themed tracks.

It was only a few months ago when the band recorded the album over a weekend. After weeks of dedicated editing and preparation, the CDs went into print and were delivered in time for our launch concert on Saturday 19th November.

It was a busy evening in Cranleigh as the official switch-on of the village Christmas lights began at 6pm, where the band went out into the square early to entertain with carols and invite visitors along to the launch concert. The concert in the evening featured many of the tracks from the CDs, and concluded with a rousing encore of Kings of Swing.

The album will be available from Godalming Band all through the Christmas period, see our upcoming engagements to see when.

A busy, Christmas-filled summer!

Posted on Wednesday 10 August 2016

We’ve had a most unusual summer, building up to the season with Christmas music! The band has been hard at work rehearsing and recording for its latest Christmas-themed album to be released at the end of the year.

Our gallery has some photos from the recording itself, which happened over a packed weekend:

If this has piqued your interest, please pencil our launch concert into your diary, to be held in the evening of Saturday 19th November in Cranleigh. Our main Christmas concert will be held on Saturday 17th December.

Besides that, both the youth and senior bands have been at fetes and festivals through the season, and where the sun seems to have followed us on every occasion. We were delighted to play for the first time at Alresford Watercress Festival, Farncombe Infant’s School Fete and with Haslemere Town Band at the Albury Produce Show this year.
