"Band on the Stand" (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)

Last minute instructions from Flugel soloist Jennie to conductor Greg, who takes it like an old-pro. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)

Jennie's solo is greeted with applause from Greg (as instructed) and, if you look closely enough, one man in the audience. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
During rehearsal with the Maastrict Police Pipe and Drum Band, Ron finds he doesn't need his hearing aid switched on. (Maastrict, August 2005)
The boys and girls of the Maastrict Police Pipe and Drum Band go for it in "Highland Cathedral". (Maastrict, August 2005)
An unusual picture featuring Dave "The Bish" warming up his bass before a concert in Maastrict Cathedral. Unusual, as a more common behaviour of the bass section before a concert is demonstrated by fellow bass player Ken (on the right). (Maastrict Cathedral, August 2005)
Band Chairman Paul offers to get a round in at the Maastrict International Food Festival 2005. Jennie doesn't believe him, Clive thinks it's a joke and "Steady" Eddie is shocked. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Clive is disgusted to find daughter Jennie lining the lagers up when perfectly good Moet is on offer. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Clive demonstrates how it should be done. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Conductors Greg (Gloucester) and Will (Maastrict) share a post-concert beer whilst Ron is suspecting that his attempts to order a "Nebuchadnezzar" may have lost something in translation. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Conductor Greg attempts to buy a round of empty glasses with a large wad of cash. The waiter is pleasantly surprised and accepts. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Greg has now corrected his round buying skills and is now "resting his eyes" for the journey to the hotel. Note the time. (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
Clive is also "resting his eyes"... (Maastrict International Food Festival, August 2005)
The band settle down for some serious post-concert nourishment before the evening festivities... (Valkenburg, August 2005)
Greg has made it to dinner but for some reason his "eyes are still tired". Still, it is a respectable 8.30 pm now... (Valkenburg, August 2005)
Sue is having a wonderful time but Paul wonders where everyone on the dance floor has gone. (Valkenburg, August 2005)
Paul shows just why he was elected unopposed as Band Chairman. (Valkenburg, August 2005)
