Rothwell Music Festival presented the second concert on Tuesday 13 December 2011 in a very festive mood. The Alan Cuckston Singers sang beautiful Christmas music, old and new, accompanied by Alan Cuckston himself on piano, and interspersed with Dan Gibson's wonderful performance on clarinet. Yorkshire spice cake and cheese with fruit punch were served in the interval. Once again funds were raised in support of the Rothwell Competitive Music Festival.

There will be two more concerts in Rothwell this autumn, to raising funds for next year’s Music Festival. The Brass Buttons concert will take place on Saturday 19 November and the Alan Cuckston singers on Tuesday 13 December 2011.

More details on Other Concerts page.

Some of the finalists and runners up of the Rothwell Music Festival were invited back to perform at the Winners' Concert accompanied by David Wilks at 7pm Friday evening, 1 April 2011 at Rothwell Methodist Church, Butcher Lane, Rothwell, Leeds LS26 0DB.

We are pleased to announce that new portable staging has been purchased for use in the Blackburn Hall, both for the Music Festival use and also for other performances. Please contact the caretaker for more details.

A large appreciative audience was treated to music from David Tan, talented young violinist, and from 'Brass Buttons', a new local 10-piece brass group gathered together by Allison Roberts.
This Autumn Serenade concert, to raise funds for the Festival, took place in Rothwell Methodist Church on the afternoon of Saturday 20 November. We all enjoyed tea and cream scones in the interval.

David Tan feels at home here and says he is glad to help the festival that gave him a start in his musical life. David first competed in the Rothwell Music Festival when he was five years old and is now studying at Newcastle University. He gave dazzling performances of familiar classics including Paganini’s 'Caprice' and the theme from 'Schindler’s List'.
David Tan’s full programme:

• Zigeunerweisen, Sarasate
• Theme from Schindler’s List, John Williams
• Recuerdos de la Alhambra, Tarrega
• Ave Maria, Schubert
• Romance No. 1 , Beethoven
• Meditation from Thais,  Massenet
• Caprice No. 24, Paganini
• Fishing Boat Singing the Night, traditional Chinese

Cornet player Allison Roberts, who has just joined the Rothwell Music Festival committee, gathered together some first-rate players – family and friends – specially for this concert. They chose an appealing programme of marches, waltzes and singalongs in splendid arrangements by Peter Kidson and ended with Christmas songs and carols.

After this successful debut, they intend to stay together as a group, in spite of being extra busy as members of other well-known local bands.

Members of ‘Brass Buttons’ are:

• Paul Argyle (cornet)
  
• Lauren Bell (cornet)
  
• Julie Newsham (cornet)
  
• Allison Roberts (cornet)
  
• Steve Hall (horn)
