Festive brass around the country

Congratulations to everyone who brought some festive music making to their communities on Christmas Day.

Christmas Day saw a host of brass bands and ensembles throughout the UK bringing festive musical spirit to their local communities.

Rivelin Brass

One such was Rivelin Brass, based on the edge of Sheffield, who went out and about playing music in old people homes, churches and local venues. The band will also entertain Sheffield’s homeless for a charitable project based in the city’s cathedral on New Year’s Eve.

Congratulations to everyone who did their bit.
