Ireland Colliery Chesterfield Band and Raw Brewery recently hosted their 3rd Solo, Duet & Quartet contest at the Speedwell Rooms in Staveley, Derbyshire.

Excellent entry

There was an excellent entry of 69 competitors across the 11 sections, which were adjudicated by Foden’s Musical Director Mike Fowles, who commented that he thoroughly enjoyed the day and that it was great to see so many young soloists performing.

Thanks

Event organiser Carrie Knapton told 4BR: "It was great to have so many entries this year especially as it was being held the day after Whit Friday.

We would like to thank Staveley Town Council for the use of the hall and all the entries for their support of this event."
