Everyone is invited as Oddfellows Brass is performing its debut show in Beverley on Saturday 12th April.
The Touring 28-piece band, Oddfellows Brass, is bringing its popular performance to Beverley’s Masonic Hall on Saturday 12 April.
The ticketed public concert, organised by local friendship group Humber Wolds Oddfellows, starts at 2.30pm.
The Leicestershire-based band regularly competes at local and national level and will be playing in Beverley for the first time. The two-hour show – with an interval – covers genres such as classical, opera and stage and film, as well as traditional brass band works and compositions.
Rob Boulter is the Founder and former Musical Director of Oddfellows Brass, and still plays in the band today. He said: “If you’ve never been to a brass concert before, our show is an ideal place to start while still being right up the street of seasoned concert-goers.
“We love traveling up and down the country and bringing our music for all to enjoy – there’s nothing better than seeing audiences singing and dancing along.”
Tickets for the concert cost £5 for Oddfellows members and £7.50 for guests and includes a buffet. They are available by emailing val.smith@oddfellows.co.uk or calling 07713 820 743.
The Oddfellows is one of the UK’s oldest and largest friendly societies and has sponsored and supported the band since its formation in 1981.
Branch Secretary at Humber Wolds Oddfellows, Neil Smith, said: “We’ve been looking forward to welcoming the band to Beverley for a while so that people in the community can experience their spectacular show.
“If you can’t join us for this one, don’t worry. We’ve plenty more brilliant community events coming up.”
