  Black Dyke will head to Bridgwater to help raise funds for the Church project

Black Dyke will travel south in August (Sunday 18th) for their bi-annual concert trip to Bridgwater in Smerset, where they will link up with the renowned Bridgwater Operatic Society for a concert to help raise funds for the building project appeal for the organisation.

Special welcome

A spokesperson for the event told 4BR: "We are eagerly awaiting the return of the band as we enjoyed a wonderful concert two years ago with them. It's always a sell out too, so people should be quick to order their tickets."

In response Black Dyke Director of Music, Prof Nicholas Childs commented: "We are always pleased to visit Bridgwater where we receive such a very special welcome as we help the society with such a worthwhile appeal."
