Great brassy night

Speaking to 4BR Adrian Miotti said: "We hope the concert will attract those looking for a great brassy night out as well as perhaps even a few who want a break from the early Christmas shopping.

There is something for everyone on the programme and would love to be able to offer a warm music welcome to as many people as possible."
