Melton Band performed in Cutts Close Oakham Rutland Yesterday (12th September 2021) Next week Rutland Big Band Prom in The Park.

Melton Band performed in Cutts Close Oakham Rutland Yesterday (12th September 2021)

The turn out started well, unlike other weeks this year people soon gave up their seats and departed in large numbers. This can be seen from the photo I took around 3pm and the video around 45 minutes later. Some comments heard were not the best for the band. There was sympathy for one of the band members who performed after very recently suffering a heart attack.

Oddly most of the band decided the grass in front of the Bandstand was a car park, they did move all but one car to the proper car park when asked by the council, the red car that remained could not be removed because the band members wife had gone elsewhere. I often wonder why bands think it is fine to drive their cars through our park. They don't do it to get to the Bandstand in Play Close Melton. 

The band played quite a dreary set and this could be felt in the atmosphere in the park. The were long gaps between each piece played. The last two pieces played were much more lively, I assume this was to ensure no one was left sleeping in the park over night.

Next week is the last band concert in the park for the year. Rutland Big Band will be performing Prom in the Park.

This years band concerts have been very popular after Oakham Town Council dropped some of the regular boring bands. Yesterdays performance and turnout was a little reminder of the disastrous past.

I think wrinkle rock is missed a lot, unfortunately most of those band members are now too old to perform so I am told.
