Bandstand 100

The concept behind ‘Bandstand 100′ is a simple one, this year is the 100th anniversary of The Bandstand, and one way we are celebrating this is to get as many people as possible to do a performance in or around The Bandstand.

These do not have to be master pieces, visit our YouTube channel www.youtube.com/stamfordbandstand or our Facebook page ‘Stamford Bandstand 100′.

There are already several recorded performances, including:

• our Vice Chair bouncing on a pogo stick 100 times
• Max Savage with his ukelele
• a superb rendition of Mamma Mia
• a Woman Police Officer singing  ‘If you’re Happy and you know it’
• and children singing their favourite songs!

We hope the summer will bring lots of planned acts and hopefully lots more spontaneous performances, we want everything from busking to dancing, and from poetry to performance knitting!!

The project will culminate in a huge carol concert at Christmas. We hope to sail past our target of getting over 100 people to perform at the bandstand in its 100th year! If you have an idea, please get in touch with Matt, mattswaine@hotmail.com
