2019 Elland Silver 30th Anniversary Slow Melody & Quartet & Duet Contest

Blackley Baptist Church in Elland, was filled with talented players competing in front of esteemed adjudicator Roger Webster for the recent Elland Silver Contest. It was a great day of high class musical entertainment, where all players were able to perform to family and friends with superb piano accompaniment from David Hall, in the generous Church acoustic.
 
As always it was run with precision, with insightful advice given to the performers as well as Band Supplies Limited vouchers for the winners. To celebrate the 30thanniversary, the Elland Sliver Band concluded the day with a wonderful evening concert featuring four of the talented winning soloists.
