22-July-2008
Constitution Hill
7.30p.m. - 9.30p.m.
 
 
The Seindorf Arian Aberystwyth Silver Band played on Constitution to the resident captive audience of Aberystwyth below during the evening of Tuesday July 22nd 2008.
 
The band was transported from the nearby Aberystwyth promenade to the top of Constitution hill by the funicular railway. The railway was opened with great ceremony  in 1896 by Princess Alexandra.          
 
The cliff railway station stands opposite the house once occupied  by the famous Sir Walford Davies, the composer of the equally famous RAF March  and the hymn ‘Solemn melody’ which is played during every remembrance day at Whitehall.
 
During the evening the band entertained visitors outside the hill top restaurant on a fine still evening until dusk with  the glorious backdrop of Aberystwyth and Cardigan Bay and the rolling hills of Ceredigion  disappearing into the distance.
