The young players of Test Valley Brass Youth Band and their beginner band Frosty’s, are now even closer to achieving their target of £10,000 for the purchase of new instruments, following their local council awarding them a grant of £650.

Grateful

Youth band conductor Alec Grimsey told 4BR: "Everyone is extremely grateful to Andover Town Council for their support. It really will make a big difference to us and we can’t thank them enough."
