Picnics are welcome as award winning Newstead Brass continue their Summer concert season playing for Picnics in the Parks of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
The ‘Friends of Nottingham University’ are hosting a public picnic in the Millennium Garden at the university this Sunday, July 4th from noon until 3.00 pm. Music by Newstead Brass is just part of the entertainment for all the family which also includes Rocket Making, Face Painting, Pond Dipping and the Bakersfield Birds of Prey as well as the wonderful gardens. Admission is free and cover has been arranged should the weather be inclement. Visit the Friends Website for more details.
Plans are also being finalised for the ‘Picnic in Crossley Park’ at Ripley on Saturday July 17th. Newstead Brass will be joined by the Swing Band from South East Derbyshire Music Centre for the annual Brass Spectacular, supported by the Midlands Cooperative Society, which forms part of the Ripley Music Festival. The music begins at 7.30 pm and will conclude with a firework display accompanied by live music from the band. Admission is free and the audience should bring chairs and a picnic. Food will also be on sale from a ‘burger’ stall run by the Ripley Lions’ club with proceeds going to charity.
Last Saturday, June 26th, a large audience enjoyed ‘A Musical Extravaganza’ featuring Newstead Brass (led by musical director Duncan Beckley) and Hucknall Operatic Society as part of the International Byron Festival at Hucknall Parish Church and the following day (Sunday 27th), despite other distractions, another large audience enjoyed a free concert at ‘Highfields’ in Codnor when the band were joined by Derbyshire vocal quartet ‘Farenheit’, quarter finalists on ‘Britain’s Got Talent’.
