Newstead Brass and musical director Duncan Beckley will be joined by the popular Bestwood Male Voice choir. There will also be carols for the audience. Tickets cost £5 (accompanied children under 12 free) and can be purchased via the band website (www.newsteadband.org.uk/events.html), from band and choir members, or reserved by calling 0115 952 7435.
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.
Other highlights of Newstead’s Christmas programme include the Gedling Borough Council Civic Carol Service at St Paul’s Church, Daybrook, on December 10th (7.00 pm, collection for mayor's charities) and ‘Christmas Brass at The Proms’ at Epperstone Village Hall on Friday December 16th at 7.30 pm (Tickets £12.50 in aid of NSPCC from 07792 341557).
The band’s new CD ‘Goldcrest’ will also be available at all of these concerts. Recording took place at Hucknall Central Methodist Church in October and the finished CD is due to be available by early December, just in time for Christmas present lists!
