Hucknall is set to host a musical Christmas feast as two of
the area’s top amateur music groups come together for a ‘Christmas Festival’ at
Central Methodist Church on Saturday December 7th at 7.30 pm.
Newstead Brass, 2013 winners of both the Oxford and
Leicester Brass Band Festivals will be joined by the Eastwood Collieries Male
Voice choir which has an enviable reputation for the quality of its sound and
singing.
A band spokesman added, “Newstead Brass was once again
complimented for our playing in the parade and service on Remembrance Sunday in
Hucknall this year. The Life and death
of Lord Byron ensures an eternal link between Newstead and Hucknall and we’re
delighted to be playing in Hucknall as part of our Christmas concert programme
and at the end of the Christmas Carnival week when everyone is looking forward
to the coming celebration.”
Tickets cost £5 and can be reserved via the band website
