  Why not enjoy a laugh and help a great charity into the bargain at Perth Concert Hall on the weekend.

As reported on 4BR, well known bandsman David Robb has produced a special joke book that he hopes will help raise funds for the Brass for Africa charity.

Jokes galore

'Dave's Dad-Jokes! has been supported by the Scottish Brass Band Association and Band Supplies Ltd, with the book on sale at the forthcoming SBBA Scottish Festival of Brass competition weekends at Perth Concert Hall on Saturday.

All you need to do to enjoy a good laugh is to pop along to the Band Supplies trade stand where you can pick it up for a £3.00 donation, whilst for an extra quid you can also get your hands on some ex-display stock tutorial books for you band. All the proceeds will go to the Brass for Africa charity.

We've had a sneak preview of the book and have been giggling all dayRonnie Tennant

Ronnie Tennant of Band Supplies told 4BR: "We've had a sneak preview of the book and have been giggling all day.

It's a fantastic bit of fun and for an extra pound you can pick up a bargain tutorial book — so everyone can laugh and learn at the same time!"
