Integra head back to Pembrokeshire

The Integra Brass Ensemble will be heading back to the West Wales beauty spots of Tenby and Saundersfoot this month.

Integra Brass Ensemble
 

Following a highly successful concert tour of Pembrokeshire last year, the Integra Brass Ensemble will be returning once more with four concerts in three days in the towns of Tenby and Saundersfoot, culminating in a joint concert with Tenby Male Voice Choir.

Afternoon concerts

During last year's five-day tour, Integra helped raise over £200 for 'Rwanda Restored' and over £1,000 for the Tenby Lifeboat Appeal as a result of two sell-out concerts, and this year they will be performing outdoor afternoon concerts on Tenby and Saundersfoot Harbours.

The concerts, as with most of Integra's concerts so far this year, will include music celebrating the great Frank Sinatra, who would have been 100 years old this year.

Blown away

Musical Director, Craig Mann told 4BR: "We were blown away by the warm welcome we received last year, and the reception from the audiences at our concerts was amazing.

We all enjoyed it so much that within a week of getting home, we were making plans to return."

Integra Brass, which includes players from Bolton (Hoover), Coppull & Standish, Farnworth & Walkden, Eagley, Stretford and Foden's, will tour Pembrokeshire from 17th — 21st August.
