A recent concert performed by Derwent Brass has raised a considerable sum for the Buxton Mountain rescue.

Thrilled

Derwent Brass performed a varied programme at the Landau Forte College, Derby – from the opening march to the closing big band number, the band thrilled the audience – none more so than featured soloists, Adrian Drewitt, Dave Neville and Andy Deveraux.

Derwent always give an excellent performance, but Saturday’s concert is one of the best we’ve ever attended. It’s nice to know that Derwent Brass sent many people home very happyConcert spokesperson

Excellent

A spokesman told 4BR: "Derwent always give an excellent performance, but Saturday’s concert is one of the best we’ve ever attended. It’s nice to know that Derwent Brass sent many people home very happy!"

Cheque

Through their efforts a cheque was presented to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (Derby Branch) for £600, who were the recipients of a previous concert undertaken by Derwent Brass in November last year.
