Blackpool to Bolsover

Keith has certainly been seeing the sights on his trips this year — directing Newtongrange Silver Band to promotion from Senior Cup at the Spring Festival in Blackpool and recently October teaming back up with the William Davis Reunion Band in a well-received charity concert in Bolsover as part of the Bolsover Festival of Brass.
