What an absolute joy it was yesterday to be providing the musical entertainment for the Battle of Britain Proms at RAF Museum West Midlands.
6 hours of fabulous music 🎼🎤 many more hours of sunshine (it did get a bit hot! ☀️) 2,000 attendees, 6 incredible performances, a stirring Last Night of the Proms style finale and more flags than we could possibly count! 🇬🇧 🇺🇦
After two years of staying apart it was wonderful to see 2,000 people join hands with the person next to them to sing Auld Lang Syne. 🥰
Very grateful thanks and admiration to all our performers who battled through the heat to give flawless and engaging performances Cosford Military Wives ChoirThe Ronnie SingersString InfusionCharlie GreenLymm Concert Band . Incredible performances from everyone even when the heat was enough to melt the strings! 🎻
Big thanks to Paul Shuttleworth and Ryan Kennedy for hosting the afternoon and evening for us and for managing to squeeze in so many shout outs and Birthday mentions! 😁
Thanks also to our Fizz Festivals team David Lane Emma Cantillion Fiona Abbotts and the Fizz Festivals family Leigh Brownie Brown and Sue Lane for putting on a great show and smiling through despite the heat!
As usual there wasn't much time to take pictures, but here are a few 'borrowed' from friends and family there on the day. Thankfully the official event photographer and videographer will have done a much better job of capturing the event!
