If it would have been a Sunday, then nearby crowds would have thronged around this stand to hear local brass bands showing off their love of music. We are in the main park of King’s Lynn called the ‘The Walks’ and just soaking up the views as we finish our picnic but as you can see –we cannot hear the music. It can be noted that our Autumn is starting to appear as witnessed by the changing leaves. Enjoy full size.

A quick stroll along the ‘Prom. De la Pantiero’ in Cannes, France, brings us to this Carousel like structure called the ‘Kiosque à musique des Allés de la Liberté’. A nice round bench too, for the lucky listeners to any music played here. Enjoy full screen. Have a great day

Just a week ago I posted another bandstand here from St John’s, Canada (PiP) . Here is one much closer to home but no less attractive. We are in the Victorian Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, always a great pleasure to walk through and admire. This bandstand was erected in 1997 to the memory of Don Redfern (1921-1991) - conductor, player and promoter of brass bands This years concerts: paviliongardens.co.uk/events/burbage-band “The old bandstand platform is all that is left of an ancient Celtic temple. It was described in 1755 as having an octagonal base and a faint inscription appearing as 'Aeona'. It was concluded that the temple was dedicated to either Epona (goddess of horses) or more appropriately Apona (goddess of healing waters). When Edward Milner remodelled the Pavilion Gardens in 1871 the 2,000-year-old temple was demolished and only the base now remains.” To be honest, I am not sure if we are seeing the original base too but….. HBM, enjoy the week

St John’s in New Brunswick, Canada is the home of this small park and bandstand. The King Edward VII Memorial Bandstand, with its copper roof and its filigree metal framework, was constructed in 1908 as a gift to the city – donated by the City Cornet Band. It quickly became a favourite location for musical interludes in King’s Square. Restored in 2013, this beloved Saint John landmark still hosts concerts during the summer months. HBM, enjoy the week.
