Dyke demand sells out

Demand to hear the 2015 Triple Champions in action has reached the sold out point — three months in advance...

Triple Champions
 

Demand to hear Black Dyke in concert seems to have reached new levels of interest following their 2015 European success, with the latest 'Sold Out' signs set to appear in Bridgwater in Somerset — in October!

Disappointed people

A spokesperson for the promoters, the Bridgwater Amateur Operatic Society told 4BR: "We knew this was going to be success, but we didn't think we would have to turn away disappointed people four months before they set foot on stage!"

The afternoon concert is taking place at the brand new McMillan Theatre on the campus of Bridgwater College, on Sunday 18th October.
