Sternian PerformersThe outdoor Woodland stage was busy with Sternians keen to showcase their musical talents! All were eager to take part in a moment in history to celebrate 100 years of life and learning at Long Sutton. StompersKicking off the proceedings was the band ‘Stompers’, from the early 1990’s era, comprised of Sternians Mike Cheong on vocals, Dom Harding (trumpet), Mark Semple (Clarinet), Pete Silcock (Saxophone), Bernard Newman (Piano) and Aaron Parker (Director of Music at LWC stepping in on drums!). Tracks included: When The Saints Go Marching In, Sugar and I Can’t Give You Anything But Love. Stranded in BermudaSternian band ‘Stranded in Bermuda’ (2016 Gosden and Park), comprised of siblings Fran and Lottie Sene and Sophia and Charles Henderson took to the stage to perform hit tracks: Valerie, Tainted Love and Get Lucky. The band were fantastic, and it was great to see them perform.U No Hoo! At home on stage were Brett Morrell and John Mattick, both School 1964 (original band members), returning to school to play, this time with Pete Morrell (drums) and Dick Northcote (bass and keyboards) with their band, ‘U No Hoo!’, who performed a number of vintage rock ‘n’ roll tracks getting everyone up on their feet and into the party spirit. The ‘U No Hoo!’ band has its roots in a group of School House boys who played in or provided tech support for various musical endeavours through 1961-64 including two line-ups of ‘The Problems’. Throughout the next 5 decades some of these Sternians continued to meet, play, rehearse, perform, record their music and otherwise enjoy themselves. They last played at LWC in 2008 for ‘The Proms in the Park’.Car ShowCar enthusiasts were treated to LWC’s car show and it did not disappoint. From vintage to modern there was a plethora of vehicles with enthusiastic owner’s keen to enthral passers-by. So successful was the show that we have decided it is high time we had a LWC Motoring Society. Turn to page 39 as we would love to hear from you as this society starts to take shape.U No Hoo! performing live in JuneEven the youngest of the LWC community enjoyed the cars (and the ice-creams)!8
