Last Night of the Proms at Ushaw College

Ushaw Proms - Where do we start then?

It was an incredible night performing with the fantastic Ushaw Choir, lead by Mark Anyan in the stunning chapel at Ushaw Historic House, Chapels & Gardens along with the superb Soprano soloist, Ruth Jenkins-Robertsson. A sold out audience joined us all with flag waving, singing which gave a full on Last Night of the Proms spirited finale. Such an emotional sight to see from the stage.

Our soloist for the evening was our Flugel player, Nicola Evans who gave a stunning performance of the the solo, By Trevone Bay by Paul Lovett-Cooper. A huge thank you goes to our conductor, Gavin Brown. His dedication and preparation for this concert has been second to none. His very first major concert with the band and it's safe to say he absolutely nailed it.

Our extended thanks goes to first of all, our helpers for tonight - Peter, Daniel, David, Michael, Colin and Tracey. Your help was very much appreciated. In addition, a thank you goes to Mark and everyone in Ushaw Choir for being amazing people to work with over the last couple of months. You all sounded superb.

Finally, a big thank you goes to Mark Nixon and all of his team at Ushaw College. Five months in the planinng, alongside our secretary Marion and we manabged to pull off such an amazing event. Thank you for the support you give us - the band always think of Ushaw as our "home" venue, and it is always a pleasure to perform here.
