Creetown Silver Band performed at the official opening of the Quarrymen’s Arts Centre in the town.
The centre, which has been refurbished to a high standard, is also home to the band so it was appropriate the players took centre stage at the Sunday afternoon event, giving a short concert which included music specially arranged for the occasion.
The opening was among a number of celebratory activities that had been arranged throughout the weekend. The band, conducted by Stuart McNab, was on top form and delighted the large audience with a programme of light and popular music.
This new arts venue will provide the band with up to date, comfortable rehearsal facilities as well as providing the community with a focal point for various activities. Plans are being made to host touring groups and other performers.
The hall is a Grade 2 listed building and has retractable seating for 80, providing a larger space when required.
It is hoped that the well-appointed facility will help attract new players to the band which rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm.
