CHRISTMAS MORNING 2009

 

By tradition, Gweek Silver Band always venture out at 10am on Christmas morning to play carols at various spots around the village. The regular band members are accompanied by ex-members from all over the country, plus friends from other bands in the area.

2009 was memorable for being extremely cold and icy.  Care was needed not to slip base over apex and a wary eye had to be kept out for cars skidding towards us.

Naturally, the band ends up in the Gweek Inn - merely to warm themselves by the fire and entertain the customers, of course.
