Eikanger claim Siddis Entertainment title
Congratulations to Eikanger Bjorsvik and their conductor Reid Gilje for for successfully adding the Siddis entertainment title to their clutch of other awards this year, icluding the Norwegian National and European top prizes. It was a convincing win for the band with flugel pplayer Gyda Matland taking the soloist prize and adjudicators Chris King, Sverre Olsrud and Oygunn Ebdenhard (entertainment) placing them three points ahead of their nearest rivals, Manger Musikklag. Stavanger Brass under the direction of Allan Withington, gave both bands a run for their money and managed a creditable 3rd place overall, finishing just one point behind the runners up.
