Where did 2011 go?
This post 28th December 2011. Last post 23rd December 2010. Even by Bristol Brass standards that’s a somewhat longish gap. Did nothing happen last year? Well it was certainly quieter than 2010, our 25th birthday year, and we did a few less gigs this year than last but on the whole we’ve been quietly busy as our concert diary shows. I’ve just been to lazy to write about any of them. Still the year ended with a sort of bang as I had a stroke at the beginning of November. Luckily, I’ve recovered enough to still perform admin tasks such as this and help with putting on concerts (developing program’s, writing program notes etc.) but have not attempted serious trumpet playing yet. (Please put cheap jokes about “did I ever” into the comments box). So thanks to all the players who stepped in at short notice to cover 2nd trumpet in all our quintet concerts in November and December. Unfortunately I’ve no excuse now to leave it for over a year to the next post.
