Nottingham Concert Band is ‘Going Places’ on Saturday 23 March with its first concert in St Paul’s Church on Boundary Road, West Bridgford (NG2 7DB). The programme is set to start at 4.00pm, with doors open from 3.30pm for those keen to grab a front row seat.

A packed audience at St. Swithun’s Church, Woodborough was treated to a wide range of music under the overall theme of Hands Across the Sea, with all profits from the concert donated for the upkeep of the church. The first half of American music contained a Sousa march of the concert title, jazz standards, a tuba feature (Tiptoe Through the Tubas), a selection from The Jersey Boys amongst other pieces. This was complimented by the second half of British music, with favourites such as the theme to Black Beauty, Highlights from Cats, Oxford Street march by Hucknall’s own Eric Coates, Sea Shanties and more.
