GSB Carols and Beer With the Lads, Thornham and Thorndon, Suffolk - 18th December 2021

The Gislingham Silver Band play the carol service at St. Mary's church in Thornham Magna - a gig which was touch-and-go on account of Covid surges but which goes ahead in the end because it's easy to keep the band separated from the congregation, there's plenty of room, and the fridge-like temperature of a church in winter probably keeps things a bit more under control. Then "the lads" have their annual meet-up, this time at the Thorndon Black Horse.
