PM pops in for Kingdon

Prime Minister Gordon Brown recently popped in to find out more about his local band, Kingdom Brass.

Kingdom Brass
 

Kingdom Brass was invited recently to perform during a ceremony to award veterans medals to members of the public, held in the Adam Smith College in Kirkcaldy.

PM

Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, whose constituency covers the town of Cowdenbeath where Kingdom Brass is based, was the guest of honour, making medal presentations to over 100 local veterans.

The band performed light music while the guests arrived, then played during the presentation ceremony itself.

Chat

During the reception following the ceremony, the Prime Minister took time to chat to his local band, congratulating them on their continued success, their community involvement and their ongoing youth development work.
