Torgny Hanson and the Stockholm South Band of the Salvation Army are currently on tour in the UK.

The famous Stockholm South Band of the Salvation Army is touring southern England this week and giving concerts at Felixstowe, Peterborough, Hadleigh and Bromley.

Second time

This is the second time the Swedish band has toured England during its short history but with its former identity as Stockholm 7 Band it has visited the UK five times previously.

The band was originally formed in 1895 and throughout its illustrious career has performed at many concert venues including State occasions for the Swedish Royal family.

Tours have been made all over Sweden and internationally to countries such as Denmark, Norway, Great Britain and the USA

Renowned

The well known brass band personality Torgny Hanson is the current Bandmaster and he leads a band of 35 players renowned for its precision and organ like tone.

Thrilled

Bromley Temple Bandmaster Geoffrey Nunn commented to 4BR: "We are thrilled to have this great band joining us for part of Bromley Temple Band's 125th year celebrations. They have for so many years set a standard for Salvation Army Corps banding with their fine playing, deportment and witness."
