The Renfrew Burgh Band was crowned the Best Second Section Band in a prestigious competition.

The band, which has been entertaining audiences across Renfrewshire and beyond for more than a century, retained the trophy at the West of Scotland Entertainment Contest in Troon recently.

Conducted by musical director Mark Good, the band impressed adjudicator Sheona White with its programme.

This opened with the Bangles' Walk Like an Egyptian, followed by principal cornetist Ash Paton's performance in the polka Miss Blue Bonnet.

The programme then took a reflective turn with the hymn, Lord of All Hopefulness, before concluding with an original piece by Gareth Bowman, titled Air and Journey.

Mark said: "Following a short summer break, it was great to get back on stage with a clean, consistent performance, and I'm delighted for band members that they were able to pick up some silverware in the process.

"Renfrew Burgh Band enjoys a proud contesting history, and the band will be looking to build on this in the coming months, while also entertaining people across Renfrewshire and further afield."

The contest success in Troon came during a busy spell for Renfrew as it returned to the stage in Kelvingrove Bandstand in Glasgow as part of a performance at Glasgow Doors Open Day Festival.

Myra Mack, chairperson of Renfrew Burgh Band, said: "Getting on stage is what it's all about, and we're proud to represent Renfrewshire wherever we go.

"We're grateful to everyone for their continued support, and look forward to a busy few weeks and months ahead, all the way through to Christmas."
