Keith Buxton, MD of Pleasley Colliery Band is trying to put together a band to do a 40 minute march into Mansfield town centre.

He added: "I'm asking anybody regardless of what section band you play for or what area you are in to get in touch and come along and play at this very special event.

"It would be fantastic to see people from all levels of bands to come forward and join together for such a great cause."
