Last Night of The Proms
On Saturday 8th of September the band returned to the annual Last Night of The Proms in St Andrews Church, Cobham. The event is part of the Heritage Day celebrations in Cobham and provides the audience with an opportunity to wave the Union Flag and sing along to music such as Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory. Guest soloist was Olivia Safe, a superb soprano singer who can claim to be able to achieve the highest soprano voice in Britain. Olivia has performed at many events including with Robbie Williams for the BBC Electric Proms, Twickenham stadium for the EDF Rugby Final and at the Great Hall Of the People in Beijing.
The band usually plays twice on Heritage Day and today was no exception, with the band appearing at Walton Wharf in Walton on Thames during midday to support the event there.
