St John, Caversham
St John’s Church was filled with the sound of brass on Friday 16th September 2016 when it hosted a brass band concert featuring the Tadley Band, leader Stewart Lewins. The programme included selections from Cabaret, Les Miserables, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Presley, with other favourites from Walt Disney and Richard Rodgers, and the Finale to Sullivan’s Pineapple Poll. There was a memorable piece which blended Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” with Bach’s “Air on a G string”, an unlikely combination but one which the band proved worked very well.
