Me, I'm afraid.  I said:

"And anyone in the dry part of North Yorkshire next week will be welcome at
Harrogate Grammar School on Thursday when The Harrogate Band will team up
with young musicians from the school to present a concert starting at
7.30pm.  The band's contribution will include music by Philip Wilby, Wilfred
Heaton and Philip Sparke.  (Oh yes, and the piece I wrote for the Band's
30th anniversary, called 'Dragon Parade'").

But I can't really vouch for the second half which will be performed by
school ensembles.  They might be excellent...

Bands finish early evening but the award ceremony can be quite a lengthy
occasion.  Trade stands not normally present at Spennymoor.
