Excited

UniBrass Foundation Chair Andy Straiton told 4BR: "We are excited that this year's concert will showcase some fantastic jazz and brass band music. I've no doubt it will be unlike anything we've seen before at UniBrass!"

Tickets are available from £14, and discounted combination tickets are also available covering both the concert and the UniBrass contest taking place earlier in the day.
