Magic of the Musicals

Milton Keynes Brass was formed in 1984 through the generous sponsorship of a building company called 'Broseley Homes', from which organisation the band took its original name. Broseley Homes was much involved in the development of Milton Keynes - the city in which the band is based. And where did the company get its name? From Broseley in Shropshire where the company had connections - so that's how Buckinghamshire Brass Band was named after a Shropshire location.
Milton Keynes Brass played music from The Magic Flute, Evita, Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. Also The Fool on the Hill by Lenon & McCartney, Comedians Galop by Kabalevsky and In Christ Alone by Townend & Getty.

The Merry Wives of Windsor

The Merry Wives of Windsor is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, written with iconic caricatures set like a series of modern comedy sketches. The Longueville Little Theatre Company (LLTC) signed up to the Royal Shakespeare Company's 'Open Stages' project. From 16th - 19th November 2011.
The Merry Wives of Windsor is a comedy by William Shakespeare first published in 1602, though believed to have been written prior to 1597. It features the fat knight Sir John Falstaff, and is Shakespeare's only play to deal exclusively with contemporary Elizabethan era English middle class life. It has been adapted for the opera on occasions.

The Talkback Independent Group

The Talk back Independent Group meets about once a month. We meet for a meal, or a visit to the cinema, or bowling. The group is made up of people with a learning disability who are independent and want to meet friends or make new friends. And on Tuesday 8th November, companions at Camphill Milton Keynes were invited to go bowling at City Limits at the Xscape in Milton Keynes City Centre.
