Captain Banjo's Street Band debut performance meeting up at the Reform Inn, Pilton, Barnstaple, North Devon

Keen to create the maximum impact and to have lots of fun collecting for the North Devon children's hospice charity, Captain Banjo's Street Band met up at around midday at their favourite pub and practice location the Reform Inn, Pilton, Barnstaple, North Devon in full fancy dress costume.

Whilst admiring each others costumes, some in Captain Banjo's Street Band took the opportunity of a quick drink of the excellent Barum Beer which is the local brew that really is brewed locally.

Others spent a few minutes practicing sitting on their chosen seats whilst performing.

Once everybody had arrived, the band made their way to a practice area in the local park to tune up their musical instruments and practice a few tunes before moving on to perform in Barnstaple Town Centre.
