Back to the future

Tim Oldroyd and North Skelton look back to go forward — and all past members are welcome for the ride.

Oldroyd
 

The newly re-named North Skelton Band who were formerly known as Langbaurgh Brass, are holding a reunion on Friday 27th February, which will start with a concert on the night.

Come along

The band and their MD Tim Oldroyd would like as many former members of the band to take part in the concert or to just come along and meet old friends.

The "old" North Skelton Band went on to become the successful British Steel Teesside Band, the present band now hope to continue that success having won their first contest recently under their new name.

Contact

If anyone would like to come along could they please contact Josie Coupland on 07880558160 or Des Heaviside on 07816820111 or details can be found on Facebook "Friends of North Skelton Band"
