Two talented members of the same musical family will be making their Royal Albert Hall debuts not once but twice later this week.

Charlotte and Alex Cockburn, who play principal cornet and EEb tuba for Bare Trees Community Band will perform at the Schools Prom tonight and with the Blue Coat Band again on Wednesday.

Proud dad

A proud dad, Alan told 4BR: “To play once at the Albert Hall will be a great thrill for them both, but to do it twice in two days will be something very special.”

The pair also hope to return to Kensington in October next year if they can help their senior band Oldham Lees qualify at the Area Championships in Blackpool.
