June 2009 sees Poco Loco taking part in Thornton Cleveleys' gala procession in the glorious sunshine, complete with Natalie belly-dancing to lead us

All eyes were on Natalie; the best the band could hope for was keeping the crowd's ears!

 

 

In September 2009 the World Fireworks Championships were held in Blackpool, so the band braved the evening air to play to the huge crowds who'd come out to see the fireworks display.

We played in the newly-finished St. John's Plaza in Blackpool town centre, underneath the brand new illuminated sculpture 'Wave' and surrounded by a very appreciative audience.

A group smile after performing! 

 

 

December 2009 saw the grand re-opening of Birley Street in Blackpool after extensive regeneration work, and so the band went along to help make the event a special one. We played in the bitter winter cold to a select, but thoroughly appreciative audience (which also included Santa and his reindeer!).

 

 

June 2010, and we're wowing the crowds in Poulton (they're all hiding in the bushes!)

 

 

Later in June and we're processing in Lytham's annual gala - possibly the hottest day of the year, and one of the longest walks.

The back stretch along the seafront goes on for miles . . . 

. . . then back through the town to the finishing line, and our traditional stop at the ice-cream shop!

 

 

In August we played at the bandstand in St. Annes; another gloriously sunny day with a receptive and appreciative audience (and another excuse for an ice-cream!)

 

 

December 2010, and we performed in the Santa Procession through Poulton, before posing for this group photograph in the church grounds.

 

 

June 2011 saw us leading the procession for Claremont Gala, through the streets . . .

. . . onto the Gala field . . .

. . . and another group photograph!

Staining Gala Procession, July 2011 - this year we were booked to play for several very long walks!

 

 

At Garstang Agricultural Show in August we not only played to entertain the crowds, but also led a workshop session where members of the audience could come and have a go at playing along with us.
