Summer Concerts

Nene Valley Community Band have confirmed that they will be playing this summer at 2 events:

On Saturday 1st July you can catch the band performing throughout the day at Hollowell Steam and Heavy Horse Show (https://www.hollowellsteam.com/)

On Sunday 30th July we will be performing at the Abington Park bandstand from 1pm

There will also be news of recordings and other performances later in the year. We look forward to seeing you at one of them!

New Logo!

The Band have decided on a new logo. This logo represents that the band is made up from people from various ages, communities and musical experience, that none of us are perfect (hence the blurry edges) but that we are all centred around music.

Many thanks to Donna Rowan Gold for producing our new logo – watch out for it at a concert near you!

Sounds of the Savoy

Nene Valley Community Band are excited to be headlining our first concert at the Deco Theatre, Northampton.

Together with special guests from Abington Wind Band, Potterspury Big Band and more, we will be bringing the music of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks to the auditorium where they played nearly 60 years ago.

Tickets are now available at the Old Savoy’s website: https://www.theoldsavoy.co.uk/event/sounds-of-the-savoy/

Remembrance Day Recording

This Saturday, Nene Valley Community Band and the Open Stage Choir , along with additional musicians from Abington Wind Band will be making a special recording of Hymn to The Fallen, the theme from Saving Private Ryan.

We will be sharing the recorded video hopefully in time for Remembrance Sunday, watch this space!

Thank you to everyone who has spent the last 3 months working on this piece, it promises to be a very special occasion for us all.

Great news! We are back rehearsing at our new home (for now) of Brixworth Village Hall. Rehearsals are 7-9pm on Mondays.

Covid precautions are still being taken, please contact Andy Dickson for details and we will keep you posted as soon as anything changes.
