Bollington set for 40th anniversary

The Bollington Band is getting ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

 

The Bollington Band will be celebrating its 40th anniversary by holding a reunion party on Saturday 16th June.

Former players

The event is being held at Bollington Civic Hall in Macclesfield and the band told 4BR that they would love to see as many former players and supporters come to the occasion to help with the festivities.

Contact

The party is being funded by the band so you don’t need to buy a ticket either, so email them at bollingtonbrass@live.co.uk to get your name down on the guest list.
