After waking up to torrential rain, the band sighed with relief as the sun came out to make last Saturday’s Last Night of the Proms concert the best yet.
Although we have learnt from previous years that the people of Sidmouth will turn out in their hundreds come rain or shine, the dry and sunny weather certainly helped to make the evening one to remember, as once again the picnic tables, candelabras and red, white and blue flags were all out in force.
There is once person that the Proms would not be the Same without, so we were delighted to be joined again by the very talented Val Howells. Val not only sings beautifully, but her enthusiasm and amazing outfits never fail to rouse the audience and add a touch of sparkle to the evening. A big thank you to Val, to our brilliant compère Nick Agg-Manning who keeps the evening running so smoothly, and to Sidmouth’s Lions Club for all their support on the day.

With the Proms over for another year, we’re down to the serious business of rehearsing for the National Finals being held in Cheltenham on the 25th September. Once again we’ve enlisted the help of Steve Sykes, who will be joining us for a couple of rehearsals in the near future to put us through our paces.
