Pub fun for Test Valley

Test Valley Brass recently enjoyed a trip to the pub for a very good cause...

Test VALLEY
 

Test Valley Brass recently descended on mass upon a quiet village pub for a fun filled social evening which also raised money for a good cause.

Fun and games

The family oriented band arrived in the quiet rural valley where the pub is located complete with instruments and following a short rehearsal they sat back to enjoy an evening of fun and games to help raise money for the ‘Countess of Brecknock Hospice’ in Andover.

We love having Test Valley Brass here. They are a fabulous group that have so much fun and bring lots of enjoyment to othersWhite Hart pub landlord

Fabulous group

The White Hart pub landlord was delighted and told 4BR: "We love having Test Valley Brass here. They are a fabulous group that have so much fun and bring lots of enjoyment to others.

They are a real asset to Andover and to see all the members mixing and getting on so well is just great. They are a real delight."
