The Brighouse & Rastrick Band is holding the first rehearsal of their newly formed Youth Band on Thursday 13th June at their headquarters at Finkil Street Brighouse (within Brighouse High School grounds).

Delighted

MD Dean Redfern will be delighted for additional players (11 to 18 years of age) to turn up on the night and welcomes parents to stay for the duration of the rehearsal.

He told 4BR: "It’s going to be a wonderful night – a real first in the 132 year history of the Brighouse & Rastrick organisation. We have a real open door policy and welcome as many people along as can come."
