BSWB is busy in rehearsals, once again preparing for the Christmas Season. The band will be found providing musical entertainment for a variety of occasions in November and December.

Their main event is a Gala Christmas Concert on December 9 at 7.30pm, at the Falcon Hotel (HR7 4BT). The band has invested a lot of money recently in buying new music, and this concert will showcase the new pieces. Tickets will be available from band members, or the Falcon Hotel, and go on sale from November 5.

On November 19 at 4pm they are playing for the Bromyard Christmas Lights Switch-on event, outside the Hope Pole Hotel, whilst on Christmas Eve they will be playing carols, for charity, outside the Falcon Hotel, from 10am till noon.

All details of these events, and more information can be found on the band’s website: www.bromyardsymphonicwindband.com
