Army Brass ready to help Benevolent Fund

The British Army Brass Band is getting ready to do their bit to help injured heroes.

4BR has spoken exclusively to Captain Dave Barringer, Director of Music of the British Army Brass Band after they revealed details of their concert to help raise funds in aid of the Army Benevolent Fund.

Help

He tells 4BR how the Fund helps injured servicemen and provides benevolence for bereaved families, and is currently working under increasing pressure to meet the demand for its services and help.

The concert is taking place at an appropriate venue on 6th December – the new South Stand at Twickenham Rugby Ground, where the band will play in a brand new ‘Live Room’ auditorium.

Support

Not only will the concert give supporters the last chance of the year to see the British Army Brass Band in concert, it will also give the opportunity to help support much needed funds for the ABF.

Tickets

Tickets are £7.50 (£5.00 for concessions) and as the venue is being provided for free, every penny will go to the ABF to help injured servicemen and provide benevolence for bereaved families.
