It’s Our Anniversary!

 

Our official 40th anniversary year has started as at 1st September and we are still busy lining up a whole host of events to take place over the coming year to celebrate.  Details of our 40th Anniversary Tour to date are below with the official launch at Solihull Arts Complex on 12th September.  We will be repeating the launch concert at Halesowen Members Club in Halesowen on Sunday 26th September so we hope you will be able to make one of these events.

 

We opened the Worcester Festival in August at the Swan Theatre.  This is a great theatre and we received a fantastic revue.  You can read it here by following this link: revue.  We are already looking forward to a return visit in 2011.

 

In November, we have a concert with a difference.  We are playing a 1940’s programme at Alveley Church, so if the Big Band Era is up your street, then come along and support this event.  Details below.

 

Looking forward a bit further, for those of you who enjoy dancing to the big band sound, we have several appearances lined up at Sand Bay Holiday Village in Weston Super Mare next year.  The first one is Easter and details are once again below.

 

For those of you who are reading this on line, the band now has a Facebook page.  You can follow the link from the contact page of this website or this link: Steve King Big Band.  This is the “modern” way to keep in touch so, if you become a member of our group page, you will get updates as they are posted.  All content is open, so you can also post your own comments as and when.

 

Here are our public dates for the near future.  As always we hope you will come along and support us to encourage the promoters to book this type of music.
