At the end of June we have been invited to perform a series of concerts in Leeuwarden, the 2018 European City of Culture, and when we return will head to Music for Youth and a joint 'Champions in Concert' evening with Brighouse & Rastrick.

We have also been invited to perform at Kneller Hall with the Corps of Army Music and to undertake a tour of Lake Garda."

He added: "With the support of sponsors we have replaced our drum kit and bass drum which will be in action straight away. Centre Stage offers a great range of percussion instruments and accessories and it is a pleasure to be able access and endorse their range of sticks and mallets."
