Newstead Brass’ new CD recording ‘Goldcrest’, which features a new piece based on the themes of Hucknall born composer Eric Coates, is now available and, alongside their seasonal concerts, provides another reason to celebrate the exciting sound of brass this Christmas.‘Goldcrest’ was recorded at Hucknall Central Methodist Church in October by Hucknall based Ben Marshall from Direct Recording Services, and shows Newstead Brass’ versatility with a range of music typical of their concert programmes. As well as transcriptions from classical and established composers there are also world-premiere recordings of two contrasting pieces from Dan Price, including ‘Finest Hour’ which uses musical themes from local composer Eric Coates.
The CD can be purchased from the band website, (cost £10 + £1 p&p), from Hucknall Central Methodist Church this Saturday Morning (17th December) between 10.00 and 12 noon, or at the band’s Christmas and New Year concerts. These include ‘Christmas at The Proms’ supporting the NSPCC at Epperstone Village Hall on Friday 16th December at 7.30 pm, ‘Carols in Brass’ at St Wilfrid’s Church, Kirkby, on Sunday 18th December at 6.00 pm and ‘Sounds Like Christmas’ at St Mary Magdalene Parish Church, Hucknall on Monday 19th December at 7.30 pm, which will also feature guests Bestwood Male Voice Choir. Ticket details are on the band website or can be obtained by calling 0115 952 7435.
