The City of Chester Band recently performed to an appreciative audience outside Chester Town Hall, which unbeknown to them at the time was witnessed by a Japanese television producer on a travel documentary visit in the area.

They were so taken by the performance that following introductions the producers from the Temjin broadcasting service visited the bandroom, to find out more about the band’s historic links with the Victorian Bluecoat Hospital.

As a result a further outside broadcast was arranged back at the Town Hall where the band performed two marches on the Town Hall Square.
