Cory visit adds extra boost to Scottish banding

The good news continues for Scottish banding as Cory's forthcoming visit to Perth creates ticket demand.

Cory
  Cory's visit to Perth has already created a great deal of interest from the nation's brass band lovers.

The Scottish Brass Band Association has announced that tickets are selling fast for the visit of Cory, the world's number 1 ranked band to play in concert alongside the National Youth Brass Band of Scotland in a special 60th anniversary event at Perth Concert Hall on Wednesday 4th April (7.30pm).

More good news

And with SBBA announcing that it is to receive a £90,000 funding boost to help provide six major 'Access to Music-Making Programme' initiatives, the news that Cory's visit is creating a great deal of interest is another dose of good news for the whole of Scottish banding.

Great response

SBBA President Carrie Boax told 4BR: "We've had a great response since the announcement of Cory's visit was made, so I would urge everyone who loves brass banding to come along for what promises to be a great evening of musical entertainment."
