There’s Swing, Skiffle and the finest in brass lined up for the fantastic FREE ‘Picnic in Crossley Park’, part of the Ripley Music Festival, on Saturday July 16th commencing at 7.15 pm and ending with a Firework Finale accompanied by live music from the award winning Newstead Brass band.The concert will begin with young musicians from South East Derbyshire Music Centre Swing Band followed by skiffle stars ‘Please Y Self’ who have been entertaining audiences around the world for over 30 years. Newstead Brass will entertain with a range of Classic Rock and lively recent brass compositions before leading the audience in a couple of ‘last night of proms’ favourites.
The concert closes with Newstead Brass’ musical accompaniment to the ‘Firework Finale’ as dusk falls across the park which this year has an ‘Italian Journey’ theme featuring Prokofiev’s ‘Montagues and Capulets’ (now best known as the theme music to ‘The Apprentice’) and Respighi’s ‘Pines of Rome’.
