All seriousness: Conductor Jack Redpath

The late withdrawal of Cambridge Brass Band musical director Rob Hocking with Covid and inclement weather meant attendance for the annual free Armistice Salute Concert on Sunday, in front of the Victoria Park cricket pavilion, was disappointing.

Assistant musical director and drummer Jack Redpath filled in helped by alternative conductor Bill Stoneham.

Despite the low numbers, the band played enthusiastically and brought tears to several eyes with some stirring performances.
