Was this the First Annual St Albans Ukes and Brass Christmas Concert? <\/strong><\/p>\n

St Albans Brass Band<\/strong> and The Pluckwits Ukulele Band<\/strong> entertained at least 100 park-goers with Carols and Festive songs on Sunday 12th<\/sup> December at the Pavilion in Clarence Park and it was such fun! The music was provided free and the Pavilion sold mulled wine, mince pies and hot chocolate.<\/p>\n

Vicky Arlidge<\/strong>, founder of the The Pluckwits, said \u2018I absolutely love this unique combination of ukuleles and a brass band! Throw in a few Santa hats, a dose of Christmas spirit and some boozey hot chocolates (or mulled wine!) and this performance couldn’t have failed to bring joy to the St Albans community!\u2019<\/p>\n

Richard Sved<\/strong>, Chair of St Albans Brass Band said \u2018we\u2019ve collaborated with the Pluckwits before and it\u2019s excellent fun to work with such enthusiastic and talented performers. We were going to play a concert together last year, but then the first lockdown happened so this concert was unfinished business!\u2019<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh and if that wasn’t enough, we then played at the Mayor’s Carols only an hour later!<\/p>\n
