Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JPH6PF - During the 1930's and 40's the clubs and speakeasies of Chicago and New York swung to the Big Band sounds of Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and countless others. We got to know this music by the radio and by the military bands like Glenn Miller's band during WW2. This became the British dance band sound that stayed popular in the 50's and 60's. Whereas jazz musicians tend to prefer the swinging groove of the earlier bands, the British audience still has a nostalgia for the Miller sound. We hope to offer both.
In Hereford, saxophone players Mancell Burgess and Les Causer got together to bring this music alive, with their friends playing brass and forming a rhythm section. Early Hereford bands were called the Paramount Orchestra and the Russ Allen Dance Orchestra which played regularly at the Park Hall Wormelow.
Mancell Burgess and Les Causer were Musical Directors of the band with Ray Walters sometimes taking a turn to lead. An early member of the band was Kenny Powell, previously a member of an RAF Band (now retired to grow prize cucumbers!) who brought authenticity to HBB performances!
Eventually this became the Hereford Big Band.
As the band is well-known for its performances of the music of Glenn Miller there have been some very special 40s events at RAF Cosford, at Shobdon Airfield and at Tenbury Wells.
The band has been as far afield as Calne, Wiltshire, Shrewsbury, Llandrindod Wells and Rhayadar
A singer is very often available to add that further excitement and interest to an HBB performance. The band has been privileged to include the outstanding singing of Beth Hippard and Lorna Dale, as well as their current splendid and versatile vocalist Terence Rowberry.
Hereford Big Band has been led by several further expert Musical Directors, including Pete Groves, Chris White and Andi Licqurish. The band's current Director is Pete Fletcher, versatile musician, teacher and technician who brings the band bang up-to-date

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AFX - In the late 19th century, civic leaders decided to procure a new town hall: the site they had selected had been occupied by a row of residential properties. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom on 13 May 1902.It was designed by Henry Cheers in the Edwardian Baroque style, built with terracotta facings by W. J. Bowers and was completed in 1904. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto St Owen's Street with the end bays containing oriel windows below towers with domes
the central section of three bays featured an arched doorway with rusticated columns on the ground floor, mullioned tri-partite windows spanning the first and second floors and an open pediment containing a coat of arms with an oculus above. Internally, the principal rooms were the council chamber and the main assembly hall
The town hall was the headquarters of Hereford City Council for much of the 20th century and continued to be the local seat of government when Hereford District Council was formed in 1974. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, visited the town hall and unveiled a plaque on 24 April 1957.
In autumn 1974 the City of Hereford adopted the frigate, HMS Antelope
following the loss of the ship in May 1982 after it came under attack by four Argentine A-4B Skyhawks during the Falklands War, the mast head and other artifacts were recovered from the South Atlantic and displayed in the town hall.
The town hall ceased its local government role when the enlarged Herefordshire Council was formed at Brockington House in Hereford in 1998. However, in April 2000 the town hall became the home of the newly formed Hereford Town Council, which was itself designated Hereford City Council in October 2000. A programme of restoration works to the façade was completed in July 2019

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AC8 - The Wye Bridge is a Grade I listed[1] stone bridge in Hereford, the county town of Herefordshire in England. Spanning the River Wye, it was constructed in 1490 to replace an earlier timber bridge dating back to the twelfth century.[2] During the 1645 Siege of Hereford in the English Civil War it was the scene of heavy fighting between the English Royalist defenders and the Scottish Covenanter besiegers. A gatehouse that stood on the site was severely damaged and was later demolished in the eighteenth century.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M07AE6 - The Little Princess Trust is a UK charity that provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people, up to the age of 24, who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment or other illnesses.
The charity was originally set up in memory of five-year-old Hannah Tarplee who died as a result of cancer in June 2005. Hannah loved her hair so when she underwent treatment for a Wilms' tumour, the loss of her hair was especially traumatic. When Hannah died, her parents felt the most fitting tribute would be a charity dedicated to providing wigs, free of charge, to children who had lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other conditions. The Little Princess Trust was born and the charity has since helped thousands of young people regain their confidence and identity by giving them a real hair wig.
Thanks to fundraising from its family of supporters, the Little Princess Trust has also committed more than £20 million to projects focused on kinder and more effective treatments for childhood cancers.
The charity's headquarters are currently based at The Hannah Tarplee Building in Berrington Street, Hereford. Phil Brace is the chief executive officer and Wendy Tarplee-Morris, the mother of Hannah Tarplee, is the Director of Service & Impact.
The Little Princess Trust is a registered charity (1176160). Due to a demand for longer wigs, the charity is asking its supporters to donate hair lengths of 12 inches and above
