Congratulations for today! Watched on the livestream and it made me very proud to be from Hull. The band sounded lush.

Once again, a thoroughly enjoyable concert in the cold outdoors on Saturday at the Big Bus Day in the Old Town Museum Quarter, followed by an equally enjoyable concert in beautiful (and warm) surroundings on Sunday at the Elloughton Garden Party. The band and soloists performed at their usual high standard. It however was tinged with sadness to hear that it was Mark Unsworth's last performance with the band. Mark has been a stalwart of the band for many years performing several duties as well as playing the trombone with consummate skill. We have always enjoyed his solo performances. Even his party piece sequentially taking his trombone to pieces and reassembling it and never missing a note. It will be very difficult to replace his expertise and we will miss him. Thank you so much Mark.

Marvellous concert by the City of Hull Band along with Beverley Male Voice Choir at Hull Minster this evening.  Remarkably fine playing and singing!  I will never forget the performance of Shostakovich's Festive Overture: what a tempo!  what dynamics! what drama!

Congratulations once again to the City of Hull Brass Band on a magnificent concert with the Black Dyke Brass Band. From the stirring opening, Mark Unsworth's melodic trombone solo, the comedic On the Boardwalk, to the spine tingling 1812 Overture with both the bands conducted by Stig Maersk and the patriotic music and singing at the end. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Congratulations on another brilliant performance. The 1812 overture was magnificent. The cannons sounded just like the real thing. My wife and I look forward to supporting you at the Albert Hall in October. Keep up the good work.

Dear Tony, please pass on a really huge thanks to your entire band. Not only did they play beautifully and entertain both the guests at the Naming ceremony and at The Great British Event outside Cutty Sark, they dealt with the complicated logistics and moving around of the substantial kit and not a grumble was heard when the heavens opened. I do hope nobody caught a chill sitting in damp jackets for the afternoon!!

Twitter has been very busy with posts from the event and our clients were extremely happy with the entire day.

All the best and thank you for coming all the way down to London and helping UK Fisheries celebrate such a special day.

Kind regards

Joanna Denham, Project Manager

To everyone in the band, and to your amazing conductor, Stig, I was singing in the Scunthorpe Chroal Society concert on Saturday. I was blown away by your performance! Absolutely brilliant! I hope to come and hear you again in 2019! Thank you for making Saturday a night to remember! Merry Christmas to you all!

Thank you so much for inviting me last night. Aled and I really enjoyed ourselves—the carols were great ( got carried away and tried to do the descant) and we were so impressed by the band’s skill and professionalism. Yule Tune was amazing! Sorry I couldn’t join you for a drink—would have been a laugh! Have a Merry Christmas.

Tony, sincere congratulations to you, Richard, Stig and especially the band (without which there would have been no recording). Under conditions that were far from perfect, I think you have done a magnificent job, so please do pass on my sincere and heartfelt thanks to each and every player for their diligence and care in producing a performance of real emotional integrity.

Best regards, Ian McElligot
