Newstead Brass set for Ashbourne Debut


Newstead Brass are set for their first appearance in Ashbourne’s renowned St John’s Parish Church when they present ‘An Autumn Spectacular’ on Saturday October 27th in support of the charity work of the ‘Old Ashburnian Society’.

Following on from a successful ‘Songs from the shows’ concert at Mansfield Palace Theatre in September, the ‘Autumn Spectacular’ will feature not only music from the stage, but also some popular classics, a swing selection and music celebrating this year’s Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen.

A Band spokesman added, “As one of the Midlands  leading brass bands we’re in demand across the region and we’re delighted to be making our Ashbourne debut.  We hope to be returning in years to come.”

The concert begins at 7.30 pm and admission is £8, which includes a glass of wine or soft drink.  Tickets can be reserved by calling 01335 300359.

The concert has been arranged by the 'Old Ashburnian Society' and proceeds will support current students at Ashbourne's Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and the charitable work of the Old Ashburnian Society.
