Making of the
CD
During 2008 the Band decided to record a CD to mark the 60th
anniversary. Funding for the project was received from the
Friends of Rushen Silver Band and the Farmer Charitable Trust.
The CD was recorded over a weekend in March 2009 at Castle Rushen High
School. Some pictures from the recording session are below.

A CD
The CD was made possible by the hard work of Band Chairman Peter
Faragher, Assistant Musical Director John Kinley and Band Musical
Director Jim Crebbin, all the members of Rushen Silver Band together
with their families (and in some cases baby sitters!). Thanks to
all of the above for their efforts.
Thanks also to Keith Farrington at Music House for the excellent job he
and his team did in producing the CD, both over the recording weekend
and in the editing suite over the weeks that followed.
Hopefully those that listen to the CD will feel that it is a fitting
way to mark the 60th anniversary of Rushen Silver Band, and shows how
far the band has progressed since 1949.
Everyone at Rushen Silver Band hopes that the Diamond Celebration CD is
enjoyed by all who listen to it.
