Hammonds in action
 

Having rounded off 2013 with a series of back to back sell-out Christmas concerts in Mirfield, Batley, Hull, Halifax and Huddersfield, Hammonds Saltaire Band have kicked off 2014 with equally successful performances during January.

Feedback

Following a charity event in aid of the Salvation Army Community Fund at the Scarborough Citadel the band gave two concerts at the Stephen Joseph Theatre where the audience reaction and feedback on pieces from their new CD, ‘Pursuing Horizons’ was nothing short of fantastic.
