Christmas Feast of Brass and Voice

Hucknall is set to host a musical Christmas feast as two of the areas top amateur music groups come together to create ‘Sounds Like Christmas’ at St Mary Magdalene parish church on Monday December 20th.

Newstead Brass, winners of this year’s Bolsover Brass Festival and ranked 26th in England will be joined by the Eastwood Collieries Male Voice choir which has an enviable reputation for the quality of its sound and singing. There will also be carols for the audience to sing with the band and choir. ‘Sounds Like Christmas’ begins at 7.30 pm on Monday December 20th. Tickets cost £5 (accompanied children under 16 free) and can be reserved via the website or by calling 0115 952 7435. Tickets will also be available at the door.


A band spokesman added, “We’re delighted to once again complete our Christmas programme with a concert at Hucknall Parish Church. Even though the band relocated from Hucknall to Newstead over 20 years ago, the ‘Byron story’ ensures we retain strong links with the town with regular concerts as well as leading the annual remembrance parade.


Newstead Brass have also confirmed their annual ‘Newstead Plays (more than) Big Band’ night will take place at the Newstead Centre on Sunday January 2nd at 8.00 pm when their guests will be ‘Brassed Up’, (incredibly versatile brass and piano duo). Tickets cost £3 and will be on sale at all Christmas concerts or by calling 0115 952 7435.
