[Rico Vandoren]

MWO will play the biggest gig in our 40 year history this Saturday (21st) at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral ( the one shaped like a wigwam ) commencing at 7.30pm. Tickets are 5 pounds.

Any members in the north west of the UK who would like to come would be most welcome.

Hope it goes well. Just a tad too far for me, sorry.

I'll be attending with my mum

Would also like to add, i went to see MWO on sunday (15th) performing locally in New Brighton and it was an excellent afternoon, lovely day, lovely music.... perfect 😀
Introduced myself to Rico (aka Tony) and have been invited to join the MWO 😀 to gain some much needed practice and confidence building, looking forward to next tuesday for my 1st band practice 😀 good job there will be plenty of other alto players to drown out my squarks n squeeks 🙂))

( the one shaped like a wigwam )

It is locally known as 'Paddy's Wigwam'

One thing that will be an interesting challenge is the 9 or 10 second reverb time in the Wigwam. If I'm not too cream-crackered I might try to make it over myself - it's an hour's drive for me.

Well it was a great concert, very much enjoyed it 🙂 it's been many years since iv'e been inside 'paddy's wigwam' very different cathedral.
It must have felt good being part of the biggest gig in the history of MWO, and getting a standing ovation at the end must have pleased you 🙂
I couldn't come over to say hello (Tony) as i had to get back to work, i'll see you on tuesday

Ron.... see (or should that be hear) what you mean about the reverb, but it still sounded good to my untrained ears.

Sorry I wasn't there - I had forgotten I had an orchestra social to attend over near Chester. I think I should persuade my trumpet playing nephew to get interested - he plays with the Sefton Senior Wind Band. He starts 6th form next term and Maghull is not that far from where my brother lives.
