RAH - Band PhotoThe band are returning home today after a fantastic day at the Royal Albert Hall.

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported the band – especially the Friends of Aldbourne Band who gave us a fantastic reception as we came on stage and support us throughout the year.

4BR said of the performance:

Some fine touches from Aldbourne. Committed, gritty playing that really grabbed the score by the scruff of its neck.
