Black Dyke
 

Black Dyke's long-awaited return to perform at the Royal Concert Hall in Nottingham has already proved to be a great success, with an incredible response for tickets for their 4th June concert.

The Yorkshire Regional Champion will make its first appearance at the wonderful venue for over a decade, in aid of the Urostomy Association.

It will also see the Queensbury band return to the hall where they claimed the 1987 European title under the late, great Major Peter Parkes, as well as performing at a memorable Eric Ball Centenary Concert in 2003 under Director of Music, Prof Nicholas Childs.

Great response

A spokesperson for the organisers told 4BR: "We have already enjoyed a tremendous response to the news that Black Dyke are performing in concert in the city.

They are a unique musical attraction — and people have already contacted me to say that they remember the last time they appeared over a decade ago.

Prof Childs has already told us that the programme will provide something for everyone and that the band is excited about making a return to venue that holds great memories for them. With that in mind, no wonder we have had such a great response."
