Shrewsbury add further to charity funds

Shrewsbury Brass continues to raise funds for charitable causes.

Shrewsbury Brass has raised over £2000 for charity in the space of three weeks.

Further money

Following their inaugural concert in April conducted by Steve Pritchard-Jones, the band raised a further raised £1,158 for Muscular Dystrophy Campaign UK at their latest event.

Musical tack

During the first half the band performed a traditional programme including 'Cavalry of the Clouds' and 'Procession to the Minster', whilst they changed musical tack in the second to provide the audience with swing music from the greats such as Glen Miller and Frank Sinatra.
