Aka  Toot Sweet

Little Big Band

 

Craven Arms is a small market town, not just a Pub.
we are a group of enthusiastic amateur musicians, and have been playing together since September 2006. Over that time we have grown to quite a large 'little big band'. We operate as a non profit making club and the strap name  ‘Toot Sweet’, reflects our long term aspiration.

 

we play for fun and to support our community

we rehearse most weeks ....

for about two hours on Wednesdays evenings from 7:30pm in the Methodist Hall on Corvedale Road in Craven Arms.

That’s alongside the HSBC bank nearly opposite the chip shop. Postcode SY7 9ND  Look at a Googlemap

Welcome to the band and our home,

A Limerick for our Leading Lady

(Lesley who conducts us )

 

Our Lesley's not pleased when we gain

Rushing through 'High high the moon' like a train

She flings out her hand

And the top of her stand

Nearly cuts off our first tenor's brain

Spring 2010 Update

This is our quieter period of the year when we consider what works & what we may need to change. We look for & try out new charts.  We rehearse “intensely”, (before going to the pub) and consider offers to play at various events.
