If on the off chance you are hoping to catch some brass band entertainment this evening in Bolton, then unfortunately, you may have to look elsewhere.
A bit like a musical story of the trip to Bethlehem — there is no room at the 1,270 seat Victoria Hall — not even for a travelling couple with a good excuse, as the 'Sold Out' signs have been well truly put up for latest Smithills School Senior Band concert.
Fifth time
It's in fact the fifth time in the last three years that there won't be an empty seat as Chris Wormald and his talented youngsters bring their brand of musical entertainment to their local supporters.
Our concerns regarding the final of Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 were happily unfounded and we are thrilled that our combination of Christmas music and the Smithills reputation has helped sell out the venue once againChris Wormald
