Captain Banjo's Street Band storming and performing in Barnstaple town centre, North Devon

If Captain Banjo's Street Band were nervous for their debut performance, they certainly didn't show it but they did get a lot of attention from the Saturday shoppers when they arrived in Barnstaple town centre and pretty soon the North Devon children's hospice charity collection tins were filling up.

The street band played in three separate locations in Barnstaple town centre and in one location where there were already wedding celebrations in full swing, they were even asked to go back and perform at the wedding party later that day.

Unfortunately, after playing for a couple of hours and collecting £350, Captain Banjo's Street Band were in need of a much deserved rest and returned to their homes in Pilton tired but contented.

All agreed that it was an amazing debut performance and one thing was sure. After such a successful debut, Captain Banjo's Street Band will definitely be rocking the streets of Barnstaple and surrounding areas to collect for the North Devon children's hospice charity again soon.
