A very proud 'Father of the Bride'!

Bass-ically Saxes Baritone player, Rob Shire was the proudest man in the UK today as he and the rest of the band attended his Daughter Amelia's wedding, to another Rob (French).


The couple invited us to play, as well as to be guests at their wedding, which took place at the lovely Monkey Island Hotel in Bray. 


We were blessed with the weather on the day and quite how Rob managed to be 'Father of the Bride' and still play his baritone still astounds us all. It was a very romantic and happy occasion. All of the band felt very privileged to be part of this very special day. It truly was a perfect day for everyone present. We wish Amelia and Rob all the happiness in the world.

The show goes on despite Maidenhead protest

Maidenhead Carnival 2011.

Thankfully they weren't unhappy with us, but due to a protest march in Maidenhead that day, the Bass-ically Saxes band were given a position to play in Nicholsons Walk, Maidenhead's main shopping mall, which was great fun.

On this occasion we played for an hour and raised £20.66 for the British Heart Foundation.

Thank you to everyone who supported this great cause.
