The Sussex Brass Gala Concert on Friday, in aid of the Sanitation Project, was amazing. The band was on top form, and so was their leader Steve Hollamby, telling the audience interesting details about each item, and introducing the sections of the band and the soloists in his good-humoured, inimitable way. Robin gave a potted history of the Link while everyone waited their turn to be served supper – and what a supper it was! The evening raised a wonderful £1222 – surely the most successful result of any of the concerts Sussex Brass has given for us. The Link owes a huge vote of thanks to Rev Matthew Foy and the team at St Matthew’s church for hosting the event and laying on tea, coffee and cold drinks; to Sussex Brass, of course; and to Yvette, Yvonne and their friends who cooked such a delicious Sierra Leonean meal. Here are a few of the superb photos Colin Foy took of the concert.
