Yorkshire silverware with Ray Sykes
 

Carlton Main Frickley Colliery gave their first concert as newly crowned Yorkshire Champions in Dunfermline’s Carnegie Hall on the weekend, conducted by Stan Lippeatt.

Something for everyone

The band delivered a diverse programme of music boasting 'something for everyone', including showcase performances from their talented team of soloists.

They also made sure local brass band supporters were able to get a glimpse of some of the silverware Carlton Main has already grabbed this year.

Pride of place

The Yorkshire Regional Trophy took pride of place next to the award won as the highest placed colliery band at the Butlins Mineworkers Championship – and named after Stan’s father William Lippeatt.
