Thanks to all who came to our Charity Concert

What a fabulous night we had!

We are thrilled to report that we raised £728.99 for Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust, Cancer Research UK, Help for Heroes, Alzheimers Research UK and The Epilepsy Society.

A massive thank you to everyone who came and donated to such worthy charities.

St Marks Summer Fair

Today we met Peppa Pig at St Marks Summer Fair. 

My goodness the heavens fell during the full 2 hours of playing we did at this event. We even had thunder and lightning. 

Despite this, we raised £10.21 for Help for Heroes and St Marks raised £1745 for their church funds

Special thanks to Prudence Sharp for standing in, as Karen was unable to be with us.

Jordans village fete

We had a great time today at the Jordan's village fete. The sun shone and the people came.  We raised £7.67 for Help for Heroes. Thanks you if you threw a few pennies in the hat.

Help for Heroes at Henley Banstand

Despite the weather we loved playing on the Henley Bandstand today. 

It was bitingly cold and the wind was our enemy as our stands fell over, our papers flew and our boaters went spinning! Sadly, as you can see our largest audience that day were the ducks, however that said we still raised a handsome figure of £42.88 for Help the Heroes.

Supporting the pets as therapy sponsored walk at Black Park

Today we were thrilled to raise £55.90 for the Pets as Therapy charity through our playing. 

The final amount raised from the walk has yet to be announced.

It was one of the hottest days that we have had this year and Black Park's car park was full. The wardens had to shut the gate and folk were parking on the dual carriageway in order to enjoy a walk in the woods that day. I have never seen the park so busy.

Thanks to all who came along and enjoyed the day.

Back in the studio

We decided to produce another CD partly as a leaving gift to longterm group member Mike Anderson, who won't be able to play with us quite as often now, as he is relocating with his family to the beautiful south coast.

We played and recorded arrangements Mike had produced for our quartet during the 3 years he has been with Bass-ically Saxes. 

As always, our studio engineer Jeff (left) was very patient! Our thanks to him and all the team at Room 2 Studios in Maidenhead.

We hope that Mike is especially pleased with the final recordings and we can't wait to have you back whenever you can join us. xx 

Fun in the park

We love playing in Black Park and this Sunday was no exception as new band member Kerry Chivers joined us.

Thanks to all who stopped to listen and helped make it such a fun day.
