On a glorious Sunday afternoon 14th July, Maurice Lea Park Bandstand played host to Our Big Gig. Last year the event was called the Bandstand Marathon and has been re branded this year. Sunday was the last day that events had taken place across the country.
For the crowds that turned up on Sunday, they were treated to a variety of acts for free. There was also a good selection of refreshments provided by members of St George and Mary Church at very modest prices and some for free.
With the weather being sunny, plenty of seats for the audience it was a wonderful afternoons entertainment that we would love to see on the park more often through out summer.
The acts taking part included The Elliot Rose Project (rock / pop), Nikita's Mini Stars (dance and choir from 3 to11 year olds), The Gresley Puppeteers, Benedict Choules & George Robson (singing duet), Newhall Centre Signers (performed dance through sign language), Sing 4 Pleasure group (easy listening), Chloe Marcela (singer/guitarist) and Without Juliet (Rock Band). Variety indeed.
Here's some photos (some are better quality than others!):
