Goff Richard's Tribute Concert
by admin on Sep.10, 2009, under Gallery, News
Last night (10th September) saw a fantastic concert – a tribute to the great composer/arranger Goff Richards.
A large audience at Parr Hall in Warrington was entertained by Bactiguard Wire Brass, Brisbane Excelsior Band and Warrington Male Voice Choir – all performing some of Goff’s greatest works. Brisbane also played ‘Titan’s Progress’ which is the set piece for tomorrows British Open Brass Band Championships in Birmingham.
Goff attended the event despite his ill-health and took a long standing ovation at the end of the concert.
Both bands (and Goff and his friends) then partied into the night at a nearby hotel.
