The band had a very successful and enjoyable trip to Germany in October 2004 where they took part in Sauerland-Herbst 2004 . The band took part in three concerts over the weekend of Friday 29th October to Tuesday 2nd November. On the Saturday evening, they performed in Folkwang University, Essen, and on the Sunday evening, they were playing in the City Hall in Schmallenberg. On both occasions, they were joined by special guest Steven Mead, an Austrian Brass Band & the Brass Band der Musikschule Hochsauerlandkreis. The venue for their final performance of the tour on the Monday evening was rather unusual - they performed again with Steven Mead & the Brass Band der Musikschule Hochsauerlandkreis in the airport terminal at Paderborn-Lippstadt.
Below are some photographs of the rehearsals and performances kindly supplied by a member of the Hochsauerlandkreis Music School, Jonas Häger, and the less formal photographs of the trip were supplied by the band’s own Sinead Lithgow.
