Award winning Newstead Brass will let their playing ‘go to
the dogs’ when they perform for the Guide Dogs Association East Midlands Fun
Day in Nottingham next Sunday, September 8th.
The Guide Dogs are an action-packed celebration of the UK’s
4,700 guide dog partnerships and the life-changing mobility they provide. Everyone from dog lovers to families wanting
a fun day out will be taken on a ‘journey’ through the care and training of a
guide dog, the extraordinary relationship between a guide dog and its owner,
and the work that goes in to making that partnership possible.
The Nottingham Fun Day is taking place at Woodthorpe Park in
Nottingham from 11.00 am. Newstead Brass
will be playing for the opening and again at intervals during the event which
continues until 3.00 pm and will feature a fun dog show, arena displays, bouncy
castle, children’s rides, candy floss, stalls and games.
A band spokesman commented, “We’re delighted to be
supporting Guide Dogs on their fun day and hope it helps to raise lots of money
to support their vital and wonderful work.”
