A Sunday full of fun
BELOVED local band, Bold as Brass Two, is set to rock the monthly “Sunday in the Park” concerts in Yungaburra.
While the talented crew of local musicians will no doubt bring some joy and energy to the town’s Rotunda, the audience is in for an extra treat this Sunday, with the Yungaburra CWA providing free tea and scones as part of their 100-year celebrations.
Bold as Brass Two has earned a great reputation, with all members being well-known locals – John Godfrey on keys, Des Godfrey on bass, Ian Poggioli on drums and vocals, Joe Paronella on guitar and vocals and Chris Bourke as lead vocalist.
This is all brought together by the musical direction of Werner Braun on trumpet and keys.
The band, all mature aged, boasts an impressive 440 years of experience. Together they bring fun and laughter to their rehearsals, although they can be a bit sporadic with their busy schedules.
Some are still in the workforce, while others are enjoying retirement and traveling. But when they do get the chance to meet, it’s all about having fun.
Each performance by the band includes a delightful mix of new arrangements of popular songs.
And while patrons are enjoying the music, they should know that Bold as Brass Two is also about giving back. They collect donations for the band or a chosen charity at each concert.
In the past, they’ve supported worthy causes like Carinya Home for the Aged, Tolga Museum, the Salvation Army Christmas appeal, C & K local kindergartens and the Yungaburra Beautification group.
Their latest charity will be revealed at the event.
The Sunday in the Park concert goes from 3pm-5pm.
Remember to bring along a chair, blanket, or rug to reserve your piece of front-row lawn. Refreshments are available from nearby shops. Parking is available via Short Street. In case of rain, the alternative venue will be the Yungaburra Rec Shed.
