Cherry Pie Fair

The Cherry pie Fair was held at the Seer Green Church of England Combined School.

Despite the diverse british weather during June, the rain held off and the sun shone at this event. It was very well attended and everyone who came enjoyed themselves.

Playing for the crowds at the Diamond Jubilee

What a fantastic time we had, playing for young and old at four separate events over the Diamond Jubilee weekend. 

There were even a few celebrities present - see if you can spot them on the pictures below (one of them is the real deal - we were thrilled that England cricket captain, Andrew Strauss could join us for a while).

Thanks to all who attended and made the celebrations such good fun:

Not quite Abbey Road - but it's a start!

We really loved our first experience in a professional recording studio when we visited Jeff Cooper at Room2Studio, part of the Denmark Street Studios in Maidenhead.

It was a great day and we hope to have a CD available soon...

Ian Waite loves Bass-ically Saxes

Thanks to Ian Waite for his kind message.

Ian is probably best known for his role as one of the professional dancers on the BBC's hit show Strictly Come Dancing. Having appeared in six out of the seven series aired, he has built up a following of dedicated fans and has become a highly respected and recognisable figure and personality in the world of dance.

Stand overboard at Henley Regatta

Bassically Saxes recently played aboard the impressive ‘Alaska’ Thames river cruiser (the oldest working steamer on the Thames, which is part of the National Historic Fleet) at an event hosted by our sponsor, space-pod at the world famous Henley Regatta.

The day got off to a wet start as band member Jean dropped her saxophone stand overboard, much to the amusement of all on-board and other passing vessels.

However the "band played on" and it proved to be a terrific day for the guests and staff of space-pod and also for the band.
