Miners' Gala wouldn't be the same without the music. Christmas wishes to everyone who has performed, carried banners or contributed in some other way to the Gala.
A million and one per cent behind the best band friends and colleagues I could wish for.
Go babes love the music
My wife and I love the brass bands especially at the Durham Miner's Gala.
See you all at the gala next year, from the Scouts banner team!
Really looking forward to hearing this....Up the Marras!
Good luck with the Crowdfunder ....the resulting CD relating to music linked with the Durham Miners Gala will be very popular, I am sure !! Hugh
Wishing you well with the recording - I enjoyed the Christmas one - and als putting an optional request in to consider to include a George Allan march - one of Couty Durham's great brass composers - I have some less well known road marches you could use - just sayin' :)
Such a worthwhile cause. Thank you for making this CD, it will be very special to so many people.
Wishing you all the very best in reaching your target, go smash it❤️
I just love Brass band music my Gt Grandfather whom I never met was from Washington and was in a miners band, so it's close to my heart. These bands need to keep going we don't want them to disappear
Keep up the excellent work you all do to keep the band going.
All the best - see you next July at the Gala!
Best wishes Marras!
Long may you continue to make inspiring music!
Music lifts the soul, especially when it's the emotive sounds of a brass band in full swing.
