The 2007 tour was a very special tour for the band being, as it was, in our 20th Anniversary year. In order to celebrate this achievement, we broke with our usual tradition and had a home tour in an odd year!
Our two weeks took in stays at Barry (Cardiff), Aylesbury, Stamford and Nuthall (Nottingham).
At each venue, we did an outdoor concert and a more formal indoor concert.
The highlight of the tour was the last weekend. On the Saturday lunchtime, we had a reunion event where many past-members of the band came to Nuthall to meet old friends and chat about old times. That evening, we played a celebration concert in Southwell Minster, a superb and fitting venue for what turned out to be a wonderful occasion. Many ex-members of the band came to concert, either to play or to watch, and all the band’s conductors, both past and present, conducted some pieces, the past conductors choosing their favourites from their time with the band.
On the Sunday morning, there was a service of rededication at Nuthall Methodist Church, led by the band’s now four-strong chaplaincy team.
