Tour Update

Last Saturday Allan, Nick, John and I caught the 7.20am flight to Jersey for three days of venue research and meetings. The flight took one hour, long enough to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee.
After landing at 8.30am we had a short walk to the baggage reclaim to pick up the luggage which was already on the carousel. Thirty minutes later we were in our hotel.

All the concert venues were visited and we met with various people who were extremely helpful. I am sure we will receive the same level of support in May. One example was from The Jersey Tourist Board who is prepared to circulate flyers to 120 hotels on the island.

Durrell’s have offered free entry for everyone on Sunday and will also arrange for 3 guides to give you a tour that will last approximately 1 ½ hours. Great for the kids and grown ups. George the ex-circus gibbon might even put on a show for you whilst Hazel looks on in disgust.

There will be 2 afternoon and 3 evening concerts. This will enable plenty of free time for island exploration. We visited the Jersey War Tunnels which is highly recommended.

On Monday evening John and Allan were met in the Cocktail Bar by a member of Premier Brass who wasn’t sure who he was to meet. All he knew was they were playing a concert with our Band. Several hours were spent talking about mutual musician contacts.

More information will be circulated as we get closer to the trip
