The Yorkshire Imperial Urquhart Travel Band will soon be performing as part of the Gorleston St Andrews Autumn Festival of Music and the Arts.
The band will perform at Lynn Grove High School, Gorleston-on-Sea on Saturday the 30th September and will perform a varied concert programme under the direction of their Musical Director, Derek Renshaw.
Known more affectionately as the ‘Imps’ with over 100 years of rich musical heritage, few bands can match their success and reputation as one of the finest professional performing brass ensembles in the country. The bands accomplishments are well documented and they have in the past been crowned National Champions of Great Britain, coveted the British Open Championships on three occasions, have previously been awarded BBC Band of the Year and achieved triple success at the Edinburgh Festival Invitation Contest. Having also been crowned Yorkshire Champions on numerous occasions they recently competed for the title again this year in the Championship Section against the likes of other well known Yorkshire bands challenging for dominance such as Grimethorpe, Black Dyke and Brighouse & Rastrick.
The band also feature regularly on BBC Radio 2 ‘Listen to the Band’ and have recorded a programme recently which will be aired on Friday 13th October 2006.
The concert programme is set to include traditional and modern favourites; featuring various solo items and there will also be an opportunity for the audience to hear featured arrangements from the Imps latest CD recording ‘Beyond the Stars II’.
