The band played really well; well rehearsed, in tune and together! Star prize to the horn section - they were amazing, not a single split all night. I would have liked more variety in the programme.... See more

top class concert band…

As always this top class concert band did not fail to please. As well as playing our favourite Christmas tunes thy also included the children present by getting them to play a variety of jingle bells to the tune Jingle Bells. Also a brilliant version of Twas the Night before Christmas. An altogether brilliant afternoon.

Reading Minster Christmas concert

The venue was lovely, and it was good to see such a large appreciative audience for a very varied concert.
However, because of the amplification on the sound system and the conductor's habit of turning round before the end of what he was saying, it was extremely difficult to hear what he wished to tell the audience - especially when he was calling out raffle ticket numbers. My hearing is good, but I don't know how anyone with a hearing impairment coped.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback, Jean. We’re very pleased to hear that you enjoyed the venue, the variety of the programme, and the atmosphere created by such a supportive audience.
We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced hearing spoken announcements during the concert, particularly around the raffle. Clear communication with our audience is very important to us, and your comments have been noted and will be carefully considered as we plan future events, especially with accessibility in mind.
Thank you again for attending and for helping us improve the experience for everyone. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

Great concert

Great concert. Well played by all, and audience loved it. A good mix of traditional music and the occasional less well-known. Particularly enjoyed the Lauridsen pieces, The involvement of children in the audience was inspired.

Very good choice of Christmas related music, remembering the reason for the season - Jesus - so some Carols, but also family friendly secular choices like the Nutcracker and Walking in the Air.

Thrilling, adventurous concert with flight theme

Thrilling, adventurous repertoire based around the theme of flight. Enjoyed the film displayed during a very modern piece. Very high standards of playing during this hugely enjoyable concert. Evoked memories of other concerts, including "The Planets" at The Proms - however Trinity Concert Band surpassed them all.

Still a b****y good band

The band played really well; well rehearsed, in tune and together! Star prize to the horn section - they were amazing, not a single split all night. I would have liked more variety in the programme. A couple of quieter numbers in the 2nd half would have broken up the incessant loud numbers. Perhaps a few solo spots in future? The venue wasn't great, a little crushed and the toilet facilities were awful. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the evening immensely.

Another great evening of music from Trinity Concert Band. We always go to their concerts and this was one of the best. I didn't much care for St Joseph's as a venue but this didn't detract from our enjoyment.
Good luck to the band in Manchester next month.

Essential listening

We always go to the TCB Christmas concert (and all their other concerts - as long as our daughter's playing !) It's the beginning of the Christmas season, and they're well worth a listen. Check out their YouTube channel for an idea of how good they are, and how varied their repertoire is.
