From the archives: Yellow Submarine at Oldbridge

We've been delving into the archives on our YouTube channel (don't forget to like and subscribe!) this week and here's the first of those offerings.

Alan Catherall’s fun arrangement of Yellow Submarine was originally a concept piece arranged for the Liverpool Philharmonic.

The melody sits on top of a Souza-type march and features lots of bells and whistles – lots of fun for both players and audience.

Here's our version from one of our stints at Oldbridge House in August 2017.

Drogheda Brass Band virtual Christmas Concert 2020

Drogheda Brass Band has decided the show must go on! Its annual Christmas concert will be a virtual event streamed on the band’s Facebook page (search @droghedabrass) from 6pm on Sunday 20th December.

The band, like all other community and voluntary organisations, went into lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the cancellation of its entire summer programme of performances that would usually include recitals at Oldbridge, Farmleigh House, the Drogheda Arts Festival and more.
