Following a successful ‘double header’ of concerts in Newstead, Newstead Brass travel just a little further afield for two more concerts in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire this coming weekend.
This Saturday, June 26th, Newstead and musical director Duncan Beckley will join with Hucknall Operatic Society for ‘A Musical Extravaganza’ as part of the International Byron Festival at Hucknall Parish Church (where the famous poet is buried). The concert begins at 7.00 pm and admission is just £5 with concessions available.
The event forms part of a double-header for the band who travel to ‘Highfields’ in Codnor on Sunday (27th June) for a concert organised by Codnor Parish Council and free for everyone to enjoy. The event starts at 2.00 pm and light refreshments will be available for a small charge. The audience are advised to bring deck chairs or picnic blankets to sit on.
Last weekend the band gave a pair of concerts in Newstead, with a concert in the idyllic surrounds of Hayes Farm supporting the ‘Friends of Chernobyl’s Children’ and a performance at nearby Woodside Cottage for the ‘National Gardens Scheme’ gaining lots of positive audience comments and raising funds for several worthwhile charities. The band also took the opportunity to launch their new CD project at the events, inviting friends, supporters and local businesses to ‘sponsor a track’ to help meet the costs of recording later in the year. The band will perform at Woodside Cottage again on Sunday July 18th.
