The format was to be changed this year whereby there would be only one solo band performance thus giving more time to feature massed bands. Greenalls were the solo band and they started off the proceedings well under the direction of John Luddon. After their performance of approx. 45 mins they were to be joined by Port Sunlight Lyceum Brass(Cyril Dare) and Ellesmere Port Silver(Eddy Pickering). Alas! Greenalls had 3 more items to play when the heavens opened, having been a threat all day, and the concert had to be curtailed at this early stage. A decision was made to await the Mayor of Birkenhead and Party for the Flag Raising and then a final decision was to be made. Unfortunately after the flag raising the weather deteriorated further so the final decision was to abandon the concert altogether. A disappointment to both audience and band personnel. However we have to be optimistic and hope for a good day next year and we promise our loyal audience a day to remember. Thanks to all concerned in the management and arrangement of todays event. Sorry "Rusty" we tried our best for you. See you all in 2008.
